Considering

I propose the following changes in ARIA spec

  • Add role option as one of the possible "Required owned elements" for combobox

  • Add role combobox as one of the possible "Required Context roles" for option

As described in w3c/html-aam#46, the plan to resolve is to map html:select@size=1 to a collapsable listbox. I summarized in issue #817 as well.

Allowing option as a child of combobox does not fit the definition of ARIA combobox, which requires a textbox. Doing so would essentially make combobox indistinguishable from listbox. It would also create a scenario where a textbox and an option could be siblings in the same widget, complicating authoring and validation as well as AT support.

I suggest we close this issue as it does not align with the resolution plan we have agreed upon for w3c/html-aam#46.
