See the title.  Patrick brought this to my attention earlier today, and I spent the better part of an hour hunting down the file that contained the erroneous snippet of wayward code.  It’s in the file wp-includes/general-templates.php, starting on line 124, and it looks something like this:

$form = ‘<form role=”search” method=”get” id=”searchform” action=”‘ . get_option(‘home’) . ‘/” >
<div><label for=”s”>’ . __(‘Search for:’) . ‘</label>
<input type=”text” value=”‘ . esc_attr(apply_filters(‘the_search_query’, get_search_query())) . ‘” name=”s” id=”s” />
<input type=”submit” id=”searchsubmit” value=”‘. esc_attr__(‘Search’) .’” />
</div>
</form>’;

(please forgive the formatting, I’ve got to add some new things to the stylesheet for code snippets)

See that role=”search” bit?  Non-compliant with the XHTML 1.0 Strict standard.  If its giving you trouble as well just remove it.  I didn’t find anything else that breaks the Strict standard for my particular site, but if i do you can be sure I’ll complain about it here.
