From ARIA issue #155

In HTML-AAM, UIA uses localized strings "header" and "footer" for both landmark and non-landmark instances of header and footer, differentiating between the two instances via LandmarkType.

In AX, the non-landmark instances are simply mapped to the AXGroup role with "group" as the localized string. The landmark instances of header and footer use "banner" and "footer" respectively. @cookiecrook, I'm assuming you're comfy with this, or do you want to follow suit and use "header" as the AXRoleDescription for the landmark instance of header?

Both Chrome and Safari are the same in exposing landmark instance of header with "banner" localized string. Moving to v2.
