Techniques	When creating the landmark structure on the page, ensure that the `contentinfo` landmark is a top-level landmark (i.e., it is not contained within any other landmarks). A `footer` element with the context of the `body` element or an element with `[role="contentinfo"]` attribute defines a `contentinfo` landmark.
