Actually for the specific example that you have given I think that it is fine. There may be more than one legitimate use of the <header> element within the page (for example the header for an article) but there will only be one banner region.

Subject: [WebAIM] Double encoding of elements

What do people think about double encoding of elements with aria roles (i.e.<header role="banner">). Is there an advantage with older screen readers or browsers?
Thanks,Mark Guisinger
