The multiple banners test is flagging <header> elements (which resolve to banner) and throwing spurious errors. These are valid HTML with no explicit role, so this should not throw an error. Found on NYT main page.

The specs sets out to avoid a confusing experience where multiple banners are in one document that are announced by AT as navigational elements. If headers resolve into banners, then they should be flagged to warn developers of the same scenario the specs attempts to avoid. Perhaps instead of an error, this can change to a warning. In the explanation, it should also state that multiple header/banner is only valid when each of them is properly labelled.
