  Please update this page. You’re referencing 10-years old documentation.

  HTML5 tags are already keeping the accessibility semantics, so adding role values is just redundant:

    Hello Igor,

    Thank you for your message.

    We are still asking for both the HTML tag and its associated role for 2 reasons:

    • This ensures a good support for technical aids. Unfortunately (unless I’m mistaken), the HTML5 specification does not prohibit the use of multiple header that do not come from an article or section. Whereas role="banner", on the other hand, must explicitly be used only once per page. So there is a slight gap on this point. Not using this role in this situation might have an impact on the information output with technical aids.
    • They are needed to comply with the French accessibility standard (RGAA 4.1.1). This may no longer be the case in a future update of this standard, in which case we will update this sheet.

    I hope it helps you.

    Regards,
    Romain
