Description
It looks like the tabs widget adds a role=presentation attribute to anchors, here: https://github.com/jquery/jquery-ui/blob/master/ui/tabs.js#L410
This is not a valid value for the role of an anchor, according to this: http://www.w3.org/html/wg/drafts/html/master/dom.html#sec-implicit-aria-semantics
I'm not sure why this attribute was added so I don't want to just delete it, but maybe it should be deleted or replaced with something else.

It depends what you mean by "problems". It makes my page fail HTML validation. Does it do something useful? If so maybe we can find a standards compliant way to do that instead.(If not, just delete it.)

I have a fix, fork the repository on GitHub and send a pull request. https://github.com/jquery/jquery-ui/pull/1748

Do you have an example of this causing problems?
