Plain text is safest, in that regard. However, since only one 
<maincontent> per page would be allowed, AT would probably ignore them 
if they were more than one. Also, I don't know if <maincontent> is as 
semantic as for example a <h1>? To me <maincontent> seems like 
something that can accompany 'Jump to content' links.
