Reported 2012-02-18 10:52:43 PST

Currently the AXRoleDescription string for AXSubRole= AXLandmarkContentInfo is "content". This is ambiguous and does not convey the meaning of the role. Suggest changing the AXRoleDescription to "content information". The same is used for the HTML5 footer element. In this case it is recommended that the AXRoleDescription be changed to "footer" to disambiguate it from The ARIA landmark contentinfo role as it is not the same.
