This is an archived snapshot of W3C's public bugzilla bug tracker, decommissioned in April 2019. Please see the home page for more details.
The W3C validator does not allow the role attribute on various inline SVG elements. It's allowed in SVG 2.0, so I think this is a validator bug. Indie UI Context ED does not validate due to this bug. https://dvcs.w3.org/hg/IndieUI/raw-file/default/src/indie-ui-context.html
