 #!CommitTicketReference repository="" revision="52013"
 Bundled Themes: Remove the "role" attribute on HTML elements with a
 default landmark role.

 With IE11 no longer supported, the primary problem with assistive
 technology support for native HTML5 elements no longer applies.

 This commit removes the `role` attribute from the following HTML5 elements
 with default landmark roles, per formerly required role attributes and
 W3C.

 [40851], [43842], [46271], [49216].

 Fixes #54079.
