Comment (by craigfrancis):

 For a second check, focusing on [https://github.com/WordPress/wordpress-
 develop/tree/master/src/wp-content/themes core themes], and a general
 search in the rest of the repo (CSS/JS), I could only find the same
 `[role="contentinfo"]` in "twentytwelve/style.css"; everything else didn't
 seem to be affected by this patch (e.g. `role=separator` and
 `section[role="banner"]`).
