The `contentinfo` landmark must be at top level.

Placement of the `contentinfo` landmark within another landmark can contradict its purpose by preventing blind screen reader users from rapidly locating and navigating to the intended landmark.

It defeats the purpose of an existing `contentinfo` landmark when screen reader users must wade through too much extra information to discover what they seek, such as not being able to quickly determine which landmark provides the content information they seek.

<h3>What this Accessibility Rule Checks</h3>

This rule locates the components corresponding to the `footer:not([role])` and `[role="contentinfo"]` selectors, and then tests whether the landmark has a body context.
