HTML Checking for Large Sites
Rocket Validator integrates the W3C Validator HTML checker into an automated web crawler.
HTML issues tagged as footer.
The <footer> element represents a footer for its nearest sectioning content, and has an implicit role of contentinfo, so specifying this role is redundant.
The following example marks a <div> as a footer specifying its role:
<div role="contentinfo">
<h2>Footer</h2>
<!-- footer content -->
</div>
Using the <footer> element instead is recommended:
<footer>
<h2>Footer</h2>
<!-- footer content -->
</footer>
A <footer> can’t include other <footer>s inside.
The footer element represents a footer for its nearest ancestor sectioning content or sectioning root element. A footer typically contains information about its section such as who wrote it, links to related documents, copyright data, and the like.
A <header> section can’t include any <footer> section inside.

Footers don’t necessarily have to appear at the end of a section, though they usually do. In any case, they can’t go nested inside a <header> section.
