role="text" should be valid

[OZZlE]

<div role="text"></div>

Throws error Elements with ARIA roles must use a valid, non-abstract ARIA role jsx-a11y/aria-role

It's a valid role plz see: https://axesslab.com/text-splitting/

role="text" is not a valid role in the ARIA spec.

This might not have been a valid role in 2019 (or in 2021 per MDN...) but is a necessary workaround for VoiceOver bugs that have been wontfixed by Apple. See OP's link; I've had to do this on production in quite a few places.

I would be happy to send a PR for this, either as a built-in allowed option (my preference) or an opt-in rule option. LMK!

Edit: maybe the opt-in rule option would be a list of additional roles, to future-proof the rule for other, similar situations?

If it's not matching the spec, then it shouldn't happen by default - but it may be reasonable to add it as an option.
