@marcoscaceres' #1516 changed https://w3c.github.io/aria/#host_general_role to use a <dfn> for the role attribute, and then @jnurthen's a56ae18 changed it back. This paragraph claims that "An implementing host language will provide a role attribute", but HTML does not in fact provide one, and @marcoscaceres filed whatwg/html#6890 to have HTML remove its <dfn> for the term.

I don't have a preference for where the attribute is defined for HTML elements, but it should be defined somewhere.

Is it supported on elements outside the HTML, SVG, and MathML namespaces? If so, DOM would probably be the best place.
