In the technique, the contentinfo role is described as "Meta information which applies to the first immediate ancestor whose role is not presentation". This sounds closer to a description of the HTML5 footer element [1], which can appear multiple times in a single document. On the other hand, the definition of the contentinfo role in the ARIA spec [2] clearly notes that it refers to "information about the parent document" and that any document or application should have only one contentinfo role. While a document might include multiple footer or footer-type elements, only that one which relates to the parent document as a whole should use the contentinfo role. This technique's description of the contentinfo role should clarify this, perhaps with something like "Meta information about the parent document or application" instead.
