Description James Craig 2014-08-08 16:42:42 PDT 
AX: Webkit should expose more subroles to AX API (too many elements use generic AXGroup role)

For example:
1. there is no AX API differentiator between and explicit ARIA  group <div role="group"> and a presentational <div>
2. List items are always generic AXGroup inside an AXList.
3. Many new HTML5 input elements have no descernable AXSubrole.

Closing as N/A. Will address this elsewhere in individual bugs rather than an inactionable umbrella.
