First... a point of clarification. Role-mapping structure elements in PDF is a PDF feature. Software that supports Tagged PDF supports role-mapping; not just Adobe.
PDF's role-mapping feature is expressly intended to allow users to create their own tags for their own purposes while also ensuring the tags are usable by AT (or other re-use software).
So.. to answer the question: role-map away! The feature exists precisely to solve problems like the one you've got.
Duff.
