Comment (by Mariusz Felisiak):
Replying to [comment:5 Thibaud Colas]:
> I have two concerns with this that I’d recommend investigating further:
>
> - Do screen readers announce landmark regions like footer that are
empty? If so that would be problematic. You should be able to test this
with VoiceOver on mac, and in particular the rotor:
https://support.apple.com/en-gb/guide/voiceover/mchlp2719/mac. If that
feels like too much, please say so and we’ll have the Django accessibility
team picking this up
> - Is it clear enough to people who would override this, that with it
outside `main`, they’d definitely need to use a `<footer>` tag? Otherwise
their content would be outside a landmark
(https://dequeuniversity.com/rules/axe/4.3/region).
I wanted do keep `<footer>` as a guide for others. We can also force them
to use it by:
{{{
<footer>{% block footer %}{% endblock %}</footer>
}}}
This, of course, does not answer your first question.
