So it looks like the main problem here is determining whether we're
asking for a counterpart to <header>/<footer>/<aside> and such
(without the implicit sectioning), or if we're asking for a
language-blessed replacement for #main.

I'm not sure if the former is useful.  For the latter, I basically
treat <article> as being that element.  It's not always going to be
such (you can have multiple <article>s on a page), but if an AT is
trying to skip down to something useful, skipping to the first
<article> would be a good start.
