--- Comment #3 from Carolyn MacLeod <Carolyn_MacLeod at ca.ibm.com> ---
Tried this again in Safari 11.1 and Chrome 70.0.3538.102
on macOS 10.13.6

In both browsers, VoiceOver reads the following HTML elements:
   header, nav, main, aside, section with label
   ... but not footer

Seems like it's a VoiceOver bug, because it happens in both browsers.
It's probably something super-simple to fix, because VO *does* recognize the contentinfo role. It's just not reading the footer element (which has an implicit role of contentinfo).

In case it's helpful, here's another good test page (click the "Show Landmarks" button for a nice overview of the page): http://w3c.github.io/aria-practices/examples/landmarks/index.html
