702758 - Add WAI-ARIA role="contentinfo" to "last modified" container

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(developer.mozilla.org Graveyard :: General, enhancement)

Description

[Aaron Leventhal]

Please add role="contentinfo" to the meta information with last modified / by whom:
Page last modified 15:46, 11 Nov 2011 by Aaronlev
This will make it easier for users to access the date of the page.

I'm not sure that the other contentinfo landmark currently used for username/logout is necessary, if it's redundant with what's in the page header.

Just an attribute addition -- easy!

Hi, I was working on a patch for this bug and here is what i had done 
https://github.com/hardfire/kuma/blob/74937fc24455b18392ed2c3a68c0e97527bd170d/apps/wiki/templates/wiki/document.html#L290

But it is a little confusing that since role="contentinfo" is for region that contains info about the parent element, so should i add it to <section class="page-meta"> (line 269)

I think that's just right.
