[Bug 1482456] [NEW] Pages should include an ARIA "main" landmark

 

Public bug reported:

With the new Bootstrap theme, pages now have "header", "nav" and
"footer" ARIA landmarks (I assume because of the use of <header>, <nav>
and <footer> semantic elements), but to complete the set there should be
a "main" landmark as well. This should be as simple as changing the page
wrapper <div> into a <main> element, but it would be worth investigating
how exactly landmarks work in HTML ...

Affects latest master
