AX: "AXLandmarkApplication" is an inappropriate subrole for ARIA "application" since it's no longer a landmark

[Radar WebKit Bug Importer]

[James Craig]

Don't use AXApplication since that's reserved for native apps.

Chris: Any thoughts on this one?

We need to wrap up the mappings for the Core AAM spec.

we should change WebCore code so that Application is not a landmark type. i don't know what the new names will be though since we haven't done it

Aha. Gotcha. So both for the purpose of making the change everywhere, and also filling out the cell in the table in the spec, if you could sort out what the role, subrole, and role description should be that would be great.

Then, if you and Nan are busy, I'm happy to make the change for our platforms once I know what they should be.

Thanks again!

Yes please go ahead. I think you'll be able to make reasonable decisions for all platforms

@Chris: Due to some local build issues I'm having with the iOS Simulator, along with having no Windows environment, I'm tossing this patch at EWS to see what test failures I get before asking for formal review.

In the meantime, how do you feel about a subrole of AXWebApplication and a role description of "web application"? I wasn't sure if the role description should be left alone, or if the distinction between a web app and a native/top-level app mattered.
