There was a problem hiding this comment.
This is all that the PR does: makes plain & wide interfaces to compliment the specific accessible types.

Revert of #4876
All of the per-element types (
AnchorHTMLAttributes,AreaHTMLAttributes, etc) via core & compat are now interfaces again (as they are in React), with the new accessible types exported & hooked up toIntrinsicElementsso that users still get correct ARIA type checking. Users will now need to augment theAccessible-prefixed types for a few elements, which may be a surprise & needs documentation for sure, but I think that's a better tradeoff; more people will import element types to extend or consume than will need to augment (say) all anchor tags globally.I spent so much time working on those aria roles & reading the spec that I suppose I overestimated/forgot how many elements in total need discriminated unions and can be represented properly, which turns out to be only
<a>,<area>,<img>,<input>, and<select>. In my head there were a lot more 😅
