Description Aaron Leventhal 2020-01-14 12:37:59 PST 
A new role in ARIA called "comment" is intended to help support ARIA annotations. The ARIA spec PR for it is https://github.com/w3c/aria/pull/1135.

It should automatically compute its level, setsize and posinset when not provided.
The level is based on counting comment ancestors until the root.

Note: it is currently implemented in Chrome behind the flag

Aaron requested public comment. I can confirm that Apple Accessibility Engineering has no concern with the ARIA Annotations proposal and intends to implement the comment role. I can't promise a specific date though.
