### Why is this important?
A element with `"contentinfo"` role is an area that identifies common information at the bottom of each page, typically called the footer of the page.
It includes information, such as copyrights and links to privacy and accessibility statements.
A footer without any main content within a `"main"` role is not permitted.
The HTML `<footer>` element has an implicit role of `"contentinfo"` when it is a direct descendent of the `<body>` element.
<!-- This is where the code snippet is injected -->
<div id="locSnippet"></div>
### What to do
* Add a `<main>` element that has an implicit role of `"main"` to enclose the main content of the Web page.
For example:
```
<body>
<div role="main">
...
</div>
<div role="contentinfo">
...
</div>
</body>
```
</script></mark-down>
<!-- End main panel -->
<!-- This is where the rule id is injected -->
<div id="ruleInfo"></div>
