<address>
element that can be included into the <footer>
element.<footer>
element is not sectioning content and therefore doesn't introduce a new section in the outline.<footer> Some copyright info or perhaps some author info for an <article>? </footer>

landmark role was not properly exposed by VoiceOver. If needing to support legacy Safari browsers, add role="contentinfo"
to the footer
element to ensure the landmark will be properly exposed.
