Even though they are not used for accessibility, it'd be a nice-to-have feature to have Sigil also add an
epub:type attribute whenever an ARIA role is selected that has an
epub:type equivalent.
I.e., keep the original prototype idea for the ARIA role right-click menu but also silently add/update the corresponding
epub:type attribute.
You could then document in the user guide that adding an ARIA role will also add/update the corresponding
epub:type attribute if one exists.
