Re: Running headers/footers / new version of DPUB-ARIA?

Sounds good.
- How about doc-pageheader and doc-pagefooter?
- Possible definition: repeated section of text that appears at the
top/bottom of pages in a document, potentially containing a title, page
number or other information
- Should the page number get its own role, e.g. doc-pagenum? Should it
exist within the doc-pageheader/doc-page-footer?
- Should the new roles inherit from contentinfo?
