RE: ARIA semantics for secondary navigation

Right indeed. I was confused when I saw multiple 'navigation'  roles on
mail.yahoo.com too and realized there was no way available as per the ARIA
specs. To distinguish one from the other.
Sets of links that might be 'secondary' or 'footer' cannot really be termed
complementary. But maybe that is the best option in the circumstances.

Subject: ARIA semantics for secondary navigation

label secondary navigation elements that are frequently used  
throughout the site.

Example:
http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/firefox.html (Products / Firefox  
menu)

Technically this is navigation, but I will be adding the landmark  
'navigation' to the top nav, and I don't think it's a good idea to re- 
use the landmark. I'm not sure it can be considered 'complimentary',  
can it? Would it remain meaningful if it was separated from the main  
content?

  Thanks in advance!
