Comment (by afercia):

 Worth noting when themes use markup like the following (example from
 Twenty Fifteen):

 {{{
 <span aria-current="page" class="page-numbers current">
     <span class="meta-nav screen-reader-text">Page </span>2
 </span>
 }}}

 there's a bit of repetition because `aria-current="page"` makes screen
 readers announce "Current page" and then they will read out also the
 markup "Page 2". A very minor issue, considering the important feedback
 given by `aria-current`.
