The fieldset element spec says:

Allowed ARIA role attribute values:
group, none or presentation.

Should it instead say:

Allowed ARIA role attribute values:
group (default - do not set), none or presentation.

It doesn’t have a default ARIA role according to http://w3c.github.io/html-aria/#fieldset or https://w3c.github.io/html-aam/#el-fieldset either. Is this something that was missed or is there a good reason for this? Which document is actually normative for defining the implied role and – in case it’s not the main HTML spec – should the discussion be moved there?

@prlbr HTML AAM is the spec to refer to for this. I had taken a quick look before and saw the mention of group for the fieldset there, but failed to notice in my multitasking there was no corresponding WAI ARIA.

I'll look into this some more, but it probably wouldn't hurt to ask directly there.

My bad - this was already asked in fieldset default role should be group #95 and closed as "fieldset has no corresponding ARIA role in HTML AAM".

Looking a bit deeper, and if I understand the following ARIA Role Parity issue correctly: ROLE PARITY: Determine which of these mapped elements require a specific role, versus a generic role #697, it looks like ARIA will be adding a role for fieldset.

Anyhow, I'm closing this, and letting the powers that be decide on the default role for fieldset.
