 			<p>The required <a>accessibility parent</a> (simplified as "parent") role defines the container where this <a>role</a> is allowed. If a role has a required accessibility parent, authors MUST ensure that an element with the role is an <a>accessibility child</a> of an element with the required accessibility parent role. For example, an element with role <code>listitem</code> is only meaningful when it is a child of an element with role <code>list</code>.</p>
