Details

(Keywords: access) 

The built-in roles for xhtml2:role are all related to navigation. In addition,
HTML's <link rel=""> can be used to expose the same navigation roles.
The navigation roles are: - banner, contentinfo, main, navigation, note, search,
secondary, seealso

We need to expose these navigation landmarks at least in ISimpleDOMDocument,
perhaps in a new cross-platform interface.
Blocks: keya11y
Blocks: aria
No longer blocks: keya11y
We do expose the roles via role strings.

It would be nice to do the link rel trick I suppose.
Blocks: nicea11y
We shouldn't support this. It's better to standardize on 1 way to do ARIA landmarks.
