ARIA added a generic role for elements like html:div and html:span.

Several native SVG elements (svg:g as a start) might also need to map to generic.

There's this line in §5.1.2 Including Elements in the Accessibility Tree:

Although these elements are omitted from the accessibility tree, their child content is still processed, as if it was a direct child of the nearest ancestor node in the DOM tree that is included in the accessibility tree. In other words, the markup elements are treated as if they had a role of none or presentation.

Which is somewhat like generic. This issue may end up as an editorial change. I'm not certain.
