<p>User agents are expected to perform validation of <abbr title="Accessible Rich Internet Application">WAI-ARIA</abbr> <a>roles</a>.</p>
<p>As stated in the <a href="#role_definitions">Definition of Roles</a> section, it is considered an authoring error to use <a href="#abstract_roles">abstract roles</a> in content. User agents MUST NOT map abstract roles via the standard role mechanism of the accessibility <abbr title="application programming interface">API</abbr>.</p>
<p>If the <code>role</code> attribute contains no tokens matching the name of a non-abstract <abbr title="Accessible Rich Internet Application">WAI-ARIA</abbr> role, the user agent MUST treat the element as if no <a>role</a> had been provided. For example, <code>&lt;table&nbsp;role=&quot;foo&quot;&gt;</code> should be exposed in the same way as <code>&lt;table&gt;</code> and <code>&lt;input&nbsp;type=&quot;text&quot;&nbsp;role=&quot;structure&quot;&gt;</code> in the same way as <code>&lt;input&nbsp;type=&quot;text&quot;&gt;</code>.</p>
<p>Certain landmark roles require names from authors. In situations where an author has not specified names for these landmarks, it is considered an authoring error. The user agent MUST treat such elements as if no <a>role</a> had been provided. Instances of such roles are as follows:</p>
<ul>
<li><rref>form</rref></li>
<li><rref>region</rref></li>
</ul>
