Semantics
A type of live region where new information is added in meaningful order and old information can disappear.
Additional info from the ARIA specification
Examples include chat logs, messaging history, game log, or an error log. In contrast to other live regions, in this role there is a relationship between the arrival of new items in the log and the reading order. The log contains a meaningful sequence and new information is added only to the end of the log, not at arbitrary points.
Elements with the role log have an implicit aria-live value of polite.
