1625153 - Support the ARIA 1.2 `code` role

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Core :: Disability Access APIs, enhancement, P3)

Description

[Marco Zehe (:MarcoZ)]

New role in ARIA 1.2. Definition, API mapping.

The user benefit, once AT support it, that elements with this role and its children can be viewed with a different mode, for example all punctuation instead of some or most. Orca Master supports this experimentally now.

Since we already expose code via xml-roles, ATK relies on xml-roles for code and there isn't an HTML-AAM mapping yet, is there any advantage to having a Gecko role right now?
