Jon: LandMark Rule Changes
Jon: Can we use 'main' landmark rule as page level rule
Ann: is this for Strict ruleset?
Jon: for transitional too.. but it is recommended on Transitional
Ann: Rich, how do u feel abt it?
Rich: Just for page level?
Jon: one of the problems we see in the last few days with this rule is the numbeRich are inflated
Jon: with this rule. work around with this problem is only the element with landmark will pass or fail
everybody consensus
Rich: If the landmark is there with empty content then it should fail
Jon: Next Rule: Headings must be properly nested in landmarks
Jon: right now the rule is developed in such a way that it only applies to landmarks which has 2 headings in it
Jon: two or more headings
Nick: if we have landmarks in page and some headings are out of landmarks then we evaluate all of the headings for nesting ignoring the landmarks?
Jon: yes.. the landmarks are transparent

Ann: Only one contentinfo node in a set of sibling DOM elements is permitted
Ann: Elements having a WAI-ARIA article role must have a label specified with aria-label or aria-labelledby.
Jon: article role will be used for nested discussions
Rich: right
Jon: I did think we need a rule on article role who think that article is a landmark
Jon: if we see a nested article we ignore the rule
