Re: Odd NVDA reading of role=contentinfo

Can you reverse the markup so the containing div becomes the footer
element and the nested footer becomes a div, and then have
role="contentinfo" on the footer element? Whatever you do, the footer
will be announced as contentinfo landmark by NVDA in FF, as will any
other element with an explicit role="contentinfo".

At the bottom of every page's content area is a trademark usage statement that we are required to put on every page of this particular site. Thus the role="contentinfo" and the <footer>.
