    <thetext>I used http://validator.w3.org/check
The validator fails use of role=alert on a UL tag
Row 53 Column 44: Bad value alert for attribute role on element ul.&lt;ul id=&quot;errlist&quot; role=&quot;alert&quot; tabindex=&quot;-1&quot;&gt;

I did not see this error a few months ago and am surprised why it is being flagged as role=alert is a valid role as per ARIA specs.</thetext>
