Hi,

UL's already have a "list" role by default, but having a role isn't enough a lot of the time, especially for IE.
https://developer.paciellogroup.com/blog/2017/07/short-note-on-aria-label-aria-labelledby-and-aria-describedby/

It mentions IE specifically, where Microsoft has a thing in their API where they look for either certain roles OR a tabindex to decide whether an object is "accessible" and therefore can have accessibility thingies in it like aria-foo.

cheers,
Mallory
