Comment:

 Nobody else seems to have a preference; so I'm going to go with
 `role="alert"`. The argument, in my opinion, is that it keeps the behavior
 associated directly with the call that sets up the HTML, but I don't
 really think it matters overall.

 To test:

 Using a screen reader, go to Comments. Click 'Reply' on a comment. Click
 the 'Reply' button primary to submit a blank comment. This will spawn an
 admin notice error.

 Before patch: No announcement from the screen reader.
 After patch: The error is announced by the screen reader.
