How could these markups help the user jump past themselves? The same way a landmark role would, or the way <h1>s would. The user agent or accessibility tool would provide a user interface to enable the user to navigate the document accordingly. For example, it's common for user agents to allow the user to jump to specific headings by pressing a key combination, or to skip to the next paragraph (skipping past any content in the current paragraph) by pressing a key combination. The same is possible for landmark roles or for skipping past uninteresting sections. -- Ian Hickson U+1047E )\._.,--....,'``. fL http://ln.hixie.ch/ U+263A /, _.. \ _\ ;`._ ,.
