Description Jeremy Keith 2009-12-01 21:23:53 CET

A role attribute with a value of "search" on a FORM element is flagged up as an error. I've confirmed (in IRC) that is an error—thought I'd better file it as a bug.

I know that the HTML5+ARIA schema is experimental but I've communicated with at least one other person who was surprised by the validator result when using ARIA roles in HTML5 documents.
