Comment (by joedolson):

 @sabernhardt I'm inclined to agree. It's not the primary purpose of this
 ticket, and poses some risks.

 I did a quick check of plugins that use the `login_header` and
 `login_footer` actions, and while they aren't adding landmarks, they *are*
 inserting HTML elements; and the first I looked at inserted an open div in
 the header and a close div in the footer. With this patch, that would be
 broken code. Any extender who is using these hooks to add an additional
 wrapper will have that issue.

 Additionally, if we do *not* wrap the footer in a `footer` element, and it
 ever contains content, we've left orphaned content.

 The value of landmarks is in being able to find the sections of the page;
 the default WordPress version of these forms only have one section, so
 it's essentially a moot point structurally. If an extender needs
 additional sections, it probably makes more sense for them to define that.
