Confusingly, the `dfn` tag represents a term being defined, making it equivalent to the "term" ARIA role rather than the "definition" ARIA role. The "definition" ARIA role has no HTML equivalent. https://html.spec.whatwg.org/multipage/text-level-semantics.html#the-dfn-element https://w3c.github.io/aria/#term and https://w3c.github.io/aria/#definition
