 According to HTML5 documentation, adding role="navigation" to a <nav>
 element is unnecessary (and not permitted).
 It should be added to elements like <div> instead, when using the
 semantically correct <nav> is not possible.

 Meanwhile this is the HTML markup for the the_posts_pagination() function,
 which comes through the _navigation_markup() function in the /wp-includes
 /link-template.php file.

 {{{#!php
     $template = '
     <nav class="navigation %1$s" role="navigation" aria-label="%4$s">
         <h2 class="screen-reader-text">%2$s</h2>
         <div class="nav-links">%3$s</div>
     </nav>';
 }}}
