[John wrote] @Jon... OK, I quoted the normative ARIA 1.0, and not the Candidate ARIA 1.1, but you are correct. Mea culpa .

ARIA 1.0 allowed the use of role region as well https://www.w3.org/TR/wai-aria/roles#region if there is a more appropriate specific role it should be used instead of region.

Perhaps you are thinking about "section" or other abstract roles. Authors should never use abstract roles that are part of the ontology but not defined for use.
