 As currently implemented, the error messages on wp-signup.php do not
 supply a role attribute, as required by WCAG Success Criterion 4.1.3. When
 a user supplies incomplete information and submits the form, error
 messages are shown in red, but not marked as status messages for visually
 impaired users.

 https://www.w3.org/WAI/WCAG21/Understanding/status-messages.html

 This can be fixed by adding a role attribute to the element containing the
 message. I'll supply a patch that adds them.
