 Hi, @costdev thanks for the ticket and patch.

 I think we have to update CSS if any it uses the `role` selector. In my
 quick search, I found below 1 instance.

 content/themes/twentytwelve/style.css#L678
 {{{
 footer[role="contentinfo"] {
         border-top: 1px solid #ededed;
         clear: both;
         font-size: 12px;
         font-size: 0.857142857rem;
         line-height: 2;
         max-width: 960px;
         max-width: 68.571428571rem;
         margin-top: 24px;
         margin-top: 1.714285714rem;
         margin-left: auto;
         margin-right: auto;
         padding: 24px 0;
         padding: 1.714285714rem 0;
 }
 footer[role="contentinfo"] a {
         color: #686868;
 }
 footer[role="contentinfo"] a:hover {
         color: #21759b;
 }
 }}}
