It seems silly to have almost one-to-one mapping between the new HTML5 sectioning elements and ARIA landmarks but not quite one-to-one. Surely the reasonable thing to do here is to adjust either HTML 5 or ARIA or both so that the following mapping holds: role=main == <main> role=contentinfo == <footer> role=banner == <header> role=navigation == <nav> role=complementary == <aside> role=search == <form> with <input type=search> descendant Of course, to make informed adjustments, the rationales for both the ARIA landmark set and the HTML5 element set need to be available for examination. -- Henri Sivonen hsivonen@iki.fi http://hsivonen.iki.fi/
