Hello,
In the examples below, does the order of nesting make any difference? It is redundant (burdensome to an AT user) to use both html5 structural elements and ARIA attributes?

<div role="contentinfo">
<footer>
<p>footer stuff in here</p>
</footer>
</div>

<footer>
<div role="contentinfo">
<p>footer stuff in here</p>
</div>
</footer>
