modify the ARIA mapping info for header and footer to reflect the webkit implementation and expected Firefox implementation. After discussion with implementers it has been agreed that mapping header to banner and footer to contentinfo when not a child of an article or section element (as per webkit) is a good way to go. So reflect this in the ARIA mapping table in the spec: http://www.w3.org/html/wg/drafts/html/master/dom.html#wai-aria
refer to webkit https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=78992
