The Django admin uses a `<div id="header"></div>` for its header area.
Switching this to a `<header>` tag or adding a `role="banner"` attribute
to the div would help screen reader users navigate the interface – they
would have an easier time bypassing the whole area when going through the
page sequentially, and would also be able to jump straight to the header
from any point on the page.
Usage of the correct HTML header tag is ideal, but might prove problematic
if CSS was written with overly specific HTML elements. We can get the same
benefits for screen reader users with `role="banner"`.
