I don't see any advantages to adding a new IA2 role. The other platforms are not doing it either.

This is the current mapping we have in the core-aam:

Applying the ARIA role to and SVG element, such as a <g>, will do the same thing as <figure>.

yeah i was looking at SVG and thinking the same thing as figure is a special type of grouping role.

The question is, what are the advantages to adding a specific role in IA2 rather than relying on xml-roles:figure object attribute?
