Description

Describe the feature request

Flow doesn't have support for typing arbitrary data-* props. This requires RSD to add Meta-specific data-* props on an as-needed basis, and each time it is considered a "blocker" by the team migrating components to RSD. This creates incentives to either 1) patch internally generated RSD syncs with new Flow types (complicates syncs, can cause regressions), or 2) add Meta-specific props to the OSS project code (doesn't scale to other users).

Research direction

The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. Start by reviewing the repository's Flow type definitions and the referenced Flow-side ideas for arbitrary data-* props. Done means RSD can type arbitrary data-* props without adding Meta-specific props, with relevant type coverage or tests identified during investigation.
