Is the redundancy of using role=-navigation- on the <nav> tag still relevant? The info supporting the need for the redundancy (on the w3.org site) seems to be a couple of years old and I saw a more current thread on the drupal site that leads one in the opposite direction.

Secondly, can anyone point me in the direction of a good (working) example of accessible pagination?

thanks

It ultimately boils down to the type of user agents you wish to support.
If you are happy supporting browsers/screen readres (current version -
2) the<nav> element is mapped to role="navigation" in all of them (I
think).
To be extra sure, add an accessible name to the <nav> element using
aria-label or aria-labelledby (it is good practice anyway).
If you need to support some older versions that understand
role=Navigation" but not the <nav> element, yu can add the role
explicitly, it is, in the words of the Hitchhiker's Guide to the
Galaxy "Mostly harmless".
Cheers
