If you believe that role="form" has no semantic value other than being a
landmark, then let's go ahead and map it to IA2_ROLE_LANDMARK. On the
other hand, the HTML form tag *does* have semantic value other than
being a landmark, so I'd argue it should be IA2_ROLE_FORM.

We are not asking that IA2_ROLE_FORM be deprecated altogether. Even
with ARIA we have some attributes that re deprecated but that is meant
so that there will be a replacement solution. An example is the drag

Candidate Recommendation we will be testing for IA2_ROLE_LANDMARK on
form roles.

I'd argue that there is more semantic value in a "form" than just the
fact that it is a landmark. This probably doesn't apply to ARIA (at
least for now), since role="form" is defined as only a landmark.
However, I'd argue it does apply to the HTML form tag. So, I'm fine t
not use IA2_ROLE_FORM for ARIA role="form", but I'm dubious about
deprecating it altogether, including for the HTML form tag.
