Comment:

 Discussed this ticket on the contributor day in WordCamp Europe last week
 with @afercia @jipmoors and @webmandesign. And we came up with the
 following:

 '''CSS class notice''':
 The designers in the discussion preferred the login_error block separated
 from the notice-info.
 Andrea prefers to use the "notice" CSS classes they should be used this
 way: "notice notice-type".

 '''aria-describedby''':
 In the login screen: '''aria-describedby="login_error"''' will only be
 added to the input fields when there are actually error messages.
 To ensure the aria-describedby attribute is used only when there are
 errors, the issue is everything here is technically a WP_Error but some of
 them are just informative messages,
 for example when:
 ?loggedout=true
 ?action=register
 The only way we found is to check for the `error_data` associated to the
 errors.

 The aria-describedby should also be added for the registration screen, but
 we will open a separate ticket for this.
