[ROLE PARITY] Determine which of these mapped elements require a specific role, versus a generic role #697

As with #696 (comment), for web components what matters is achieving the ability to create the same experience for AT users using web components as when using native elements. So, specific vs. generic depends largely on how existing ATs treat each of these cases; do they announce them specifically, or generically. I am hopeful those with domain expertise can help elucidate that subject. |

N.B. All of the "Role Parity" issues are intended to gather feedback from stakeholders who need role parity from us including, but not limited to, groups working on Web Components and AOM. Comments on matters other than determining "which of these mapped elements require a specific role, versus a generic role" should be raised in another GitHub issue. Thank you for your understanding!
The following elements lack a corresponding ARIA role in the HTML AAM, but they are mapped on ALL platforms.
Assumption: Since all platforms map them, all platforms have a need for them. Thus they require a new role. But we need to determine which of these require a dedicated/specific role versus a generic role.
