> Currently the HTML5 header element has an AXRoleDescription="banner". This is the same description as for the ARIA banner landmark role. 

The current behavior for the `header` element is slightly more complex: if the `header` element is not contained within an `article` or `section` element, it has a description of "banner". If it is contained in one of those elements, it falls back to "group".

Regardless of what we do with this bug, we should test that behavior. Same goes for the `footer` element. I'll throw a patch up under https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=88911 

> Suggest changing to AXRoleDescription="header"

"header" or "heading"? The latter would be trivial, the former wouldn't be much more work.

Dominic, what do you think about this?
