Comment (by SergeyBiryukov):

 In [changeset:"49177" 49177]:
 {{{
 #!CommitTicketReference repository="" revision="49177"
 Accessibility: Widgets: Conditionally wrap the tag cloud widget in a
 `<nav>` element.

 If the theme declares support for the `html5` feature `navigation-
 widgets`, the tag cloud widget is now wrapped in a `<nav>` element to
 improve semantics and accessibility.

 The `<nav>` elements are native landmark regions, which helps assistive
 technology users to navigate through them.

 Follow-up to [48349] for other widgets.

 Props audrasjb, justinahinon, ravipatel.
 Fixes #51455. See #48170.
