Re: SUGGESTIONS ON LABELLEDBY

It might also help to use an example that more sighted people would relate to, because landmark navigation is not commonly understood unless you're familiar with modern screen readers. Perhaps using a "dialog" instead of "main" might be better:

> <div role="dialog" aria-labelledby="myDialogHeading">
>     <h1 id="myDialogHeading">Top News Stories </h1>
>     <!-- more dialog contents -->
> </div>


Thoughts?
