Description steve faulkner 2012-05-25 10:57:58 UTC 
when checking role on fieldset the validator produces an error:
example page:
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/377471/tests/role-fieldset.html

Error: Attribute role not allowed on element fieldset at this point.

in the HTML5 spec there are no restrictions on what role fieldset can have:
