            Bug ID: 242685
           Summary: AX: Header elements inside main elements should not be
                    banner landmarks
           Product: WebKit
           Version: Safari 15
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P2

Per https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Element/header
and https://www.w3.org/WAI/ARIA/apg/example-index/landmarks/HTML5.html

<header> should carry the banner landmark role, when in context of the body element. The header element is not a banner landmark when it is a descendant of the following HTML sectioning elements: article, aside, main, nav, section.

This is not currently how VoiceOver + Safari implements this. Any header element seems to generate a landmark banner role, irrespective of being positioned inside of article, aside, main, nav, section elements.

Interestingly this is correctly implemented for sections. As you can detect with the rotor and landmark navigation in the the included example, the header element inside of a main is presented as a landmark, yet the header inside of a section is NOT a banner landmark in the landmark navigation.
