Moving beyond the immediate "should ARIA landmarks (or any other specific technique) be required" distraction, the one aspect I think does have some merit (regardless of how it's achieved, technically): on medium/complex pages/applications, is it important that users can easily understand the macro-structure of the page? That meaningful regions such as the header, main content, footer, sidebar, etc are somehow identified? Currently, I don't believe this is explicitly called out in the normative wording of 1.3.1 (at least not in so many words). This would be a change/modification/addition to the normative 1.3.1 that I think warrants discussion. The question of HOW that would then be sufficiently satisfied (be it with generic ARIA regions, landmark regions, <section> and a heading, a whole in-page skip link menu, whatever) is a different (non-normative) discussion.
