 Priority:  normal        |   Milestone:  Unassigned          
Component:  Validation    |     Version:  2.8.4               
 Severity:  normal        |    Keywords:  default theme markup
--------------------------+-------------------------------------------------
 The default theme shipped with 2.8 is invalid due to the inclusion of the
 'role' attribute within multiple templates. This attribute is specific to
 HTML5 and, as such, should not be incorporated in an XHTML1 theme.

 Whilst this invalid markup does not create any known display or
 performance issues, it is causing problems for users who are trying to
 validate their sites. It may also be indirectly creating issues within 3rd
 party themes where theme authors have used the default theme as a
 template/standard.
