per w3c/aria#2504 - the html element doesn't actually map to the `document` role - rather a parent `document node` to the `html` element is what exposes the `document` role of a web page. This update fixes the spec to match the updated HTML aam mapping / matches reality. The `generic` role is being added as an "allowed" but not recommended role to the `html` element. The `document` role is being kept as an allowed role for the `html` element. The rational there being that this has been in the spec for a long time and even when specified on the html element, from what i can tell, there's no pro/con to its inclusion.

The implicit role changed from `document` to `generic` per w3c/aria#2504. Permitted roles now include `document` and `generic` per w3c/html-aria#550. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
