ERROR for role="doc-epigraph"

[flittle8]

I'm getting an error when role="doc-epigraph" is used on a section tag. here is the code and attached error. I'm on Epub-check 4.2.1.

 <section epub:type="epigraph" role="doc-epigraph">
    <h1 id="epigraph">Epigraph</h1>
    <blockquote class="quote">
    <p>I want you ot know, if you ever read this, there was a time when I would rather have had you by my side than any one of these words; I would rather have ahd you by my side than all the blue in the world.</p>
    <p><cite>—Maggie Nelson</cite></p>
    </blockquote>
    </section>

Currently, doc-epigraph is not allowed on section elements, as per the ARIA in HTML specification, so EPUBCheck is correct in reporting that.

Note that whether doc-epigraph should be allowed on section elements is still open for debate by the Digital Publishing Working Group, so this situation might change in the future…

See also daisy/ace#234 where this was discussed recently.

Closing as invalid as EPUBCheck behaves as intended. Feel free to keep on commenting!
