Request to implement the new ARIA roles sectionheader and sectionfooter. You can see the change introducing the new roles here: https://github.com/w3c/aria/pull/1931 The CORE-AAM mappings here: https://github.com/w3c/core-aam/pull/207 And the WPT tests here: https://github.com/web-platform-tests/wpt/pull/45916 Per the ARIA working groups new process from the last year, we are seeking implementation experience and implementation feedback on new features before we land them in the editors draft for ARIA 1.4.

Question here about whether there should be a new AXSubrole. I've requested the PR be held until that decision is made. https://github.com/w3c/aria/pull/1931#pullrequestreview-2214216388

Resolution of that discussion was new AXSubroles: - AXSectionHeader - AXSectionFooter Not to be confused with <header> (banner) and <footer> (contentinfo).
