Yes, and as we have told them it is a very bad design to use articles as
landmarks as there can be many of them. What is worse you can't tell that
they are related. A feed would do that and it would provide navigation
among the feed items.
As a stop gap an AT could switch to article navigation and ignore the feed
but I don't think that is the right idea for the reasons above long term.
The feed is a list which provides context to the articles.

Rich,
as far as I am aware the only AT that exposes <article> to users or
provides navigation is JAWS,
which exposes it as a (landmark) region and it is navigable along with all
other landmarks using the R/shift+R keys.

Hi James,
Does VoiceOver have a gesture navigation capability to move among
articles on iOS?
This is important in the context of ARIA Feeds.
