[Bug 23888] Not allowing role=alert on UL / OL / LI / H- tags. etc. is a needless constraint

https://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=23888

--- Comment #2 from Sailesh Panchang <sailesh.panchang@deque.com> ---
Well I could make the validator error go away if I put the UL tag in a div and
placed role=alert on the DIV tag innstead of the UL tag.
I get the same functionality but that is more code that I have to insert
needlessly. The role=alert does not change the semantics of the UL tag like
role=navigation or role=menubar etc.
So it does not make sense to insert a div tag or not use <ul role=alert>
