Handle case where nameRequired is true, but not a widget #396

Description

@tombrunet

Carolyn is updating the ARIA definitions for 1.2 and noted that the roleType was obviously outdated. The only rule that seems to be affected is Rpt_Aria_WidgetLabels_Implicit. It's set up to trigger when names are missing for 'interactive elements'. However, we aren't triggering for some non-interactive widgets.

Should we:

  • Add a new rule for non-widgets?
  • Modify the existing rule to also handle non-widgets and add a reasonCode to differentiate between interactive and non-interactive?
  • Just change the rule to check names and not care if it's interactive or not.
