3.5.1 landmark-no-duplicate-contentinfo Issue

See original GitHub issue

Example structure that is failing when using CLI and API v3.5.1 (not browser extension)

<body>
	<header></header>
	<nav></nav>
	<main>
		<article>
			<header></header>
			<section></section>
			<section></section>
			<footer></footer>
		</article>
	</main>
	<footer></footer>
</body>

test-axe-contentinfo.html.zip

Expectation: Allow <section>, <article>, <aside>, <main>, and <nav> elements to have scoped <footer> element and pass tests; especially when the landmarks are uniquely labeled.

The HTML footer element defines a contentinfo landmark when its context is the body element.

https://www.w3.org/TR/wai-aria-practices/examples/landmarks/contentinfo.html See “HTML Techniques” https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/Accessibility/ARIA/Roles/Contentinfo_role See “Best Practices”

Actual: Best practices Error for multiple contentinfo landmarks when there is only one that is a child of body. Violation of “landmark-no-duplicate-contentinfo” with 1 occurrences! https://dequeuniversity.com/rules/axe/3.5/landmark-no-duplicate-contentinfo (Also, will say only 1 occurrence when there is multiple and complains one at a time)

Motivation: To follow HTML5 spec and behave the same as <header> and role banner https://dequeuniversity.com/rules/axe/3.5/landmark-no-duplicate-banner

Correct. The changes have not been released yet. When axe 3.5.3 is released this bug will be fixed.
