Comment (by afercia):

 Sorry first time I see this ticket, we're covering this and more landmark
 roles to add in the admin in #31450. For reference, to support old
 Assistive Technologies and old browsers, it's still recommended to use
 DIVs so instead of
 {{{
 <nav role="navigation">
 }}}
 we're proposing
 {{{
 <div role="navigation" aria-label="Main menu">
 }}}
 In the future, it will be possible to use just `<nav>` which has an
 implicit `role="navigation"`
