While ARIA isn't specifically called out by this SC and it's not a markup language I personally consider that when ARIA roles are applied to elements then descendant elements roles either explicit or implied should follow as well. For example, if you change an UL to role navigation then the you can't have dangling LI elements without a role like presentation or something else. In my example role navigation shouldn't be applied to UL it should be applied to a div above the UL.

Is this your opinion as well?
