FA-11435 / Accessibility interaction semantics / Member archive
A nested header is exposed as a page-wide banner landmark · case 05
Section-local headers and footers appear in the page landmark inventory, or unnamed sections create noisy regions.
Case contract
This deliberately bounded native landmark adapter accepts tag, accessible name, and nearest-first ancestor tag names. main/nav/aside map to main/navigation/complementary. Named form/section map to form/region; empty or ASCII-whitespace-only names yield None. header/footer map to banner/contentinfo only outside every article, aside, main, nav or section ancestor. Other tags yield None. This adapter does not implement author role overrides or full HTML semantics.
Why this case matters
A controlled offline accessibility-data model. It isolates the stated contract; it does not simulate browser accessibility APIs or claim full ARIA conformance.
One recorded failure
Sample boundary fixtureThis sample comes from the broken implementation of a controlled reproducer.
