@jgm I think a possible fix for the ARIA role would be to set it to:

*role="doc-footnote"*

instead of:

*role="doc-endnotes" *
I found this 
at: https://kb.daisy.org/publishing/docs/html/dpub-aria/doc-footnote.html 
which fixes the validation error.

Of course, I have only verified this with my limited use case i.e. 
footnotes, and I am not sure what the far-reaching consequences of making 
this change would be.

Cheers
