Do not want  HTML tag when using footer region After running W3 Markup Validator on a site of mine, I received the following error:

Line 219, Column 57: element &quot;footer&quot; undefined
&lt;footer id=&quot;footer&quot; class=&quot;region region-footer&quot;&gt;

Whether or not this is actually an issue, bad style, or what, I've decided that I don't want Drupal using the HTML footer tag. Is there a way that I can change this and have it just create yet another div?
did the validator know you where using an HTML5 site?

... anyways you can always edit page.tpl.php or html.tpl.php for your theme to change global page markup like this to however you want.
