New description:

 `<!-- wp:template-part
 {"slug":"news","tagName":"section","role":"complementary","theme":"mytheme"}
 /-->`

 If there isn't already a way to give the resulting `<section class="wp-
 block-template-part">` an ARIA role, that would be a nice enhancement.

Comment:

 For the `complementary` role, you could use `aside` as the `tagName`.
 ([https://developer.mozilla.org/en-
 US/docs/Web/Accessibility/ARIA/Roles/complementary_role MDN says, "If
 possible, use the HTML <aside> element instead."]) Twenty Twenty-Four uses
 it in the [https://core.trac.wordpress.org/browser/tags/6.6.2/src/wp-
 content/themes/twentytwentyfour/patterns/page-home-
 blogging.php?marks=71#L71 "Blogging home" pattern].

 However, would a different role be necessary on the template part
 container element?
