We definitely don't want this. <footer> can be used hundreds of times per page. For example, each post in a Facebook feed can have a footer. There's another open bug about Footer versus ContentInfo. This would make all of them landmarks. 

You only want footer to map to content info when it's not a descendant of an article or section:

Just pull this out and it'd be okay to address the rest in a separate bug.
