Description

I don't see that anyone has broght this issue yet, but a recent discussion in aria to figure out how to formalize the mess of carousels given how prevalent they are led to (popular, it seems) discussion that this would be an excellent thing for open-ui to explore, beginning with research.

James Craig from Apple (@cookiecrook) even mentioned our spicy sections/design affordance controls concept as potentially interesting here. There is some previous history along this lines with the old panels/panel sets proposal so I agree it's worth both starting research (which I expect will take a while given the state of those is very different than many other controls) and keeping in mind to think about if (eventually) these two concepts align.

Research direction

Start by reading the linked ARIA discussion (issue 1617) and the previous panels/panel sets proposal. Compare existing carousel patterns and the spicy sections/design affordance controls concept, then document the research findings and whether Open UI should pursue a formal proposal or align these concepts.
