How would a sighted user be aware of the existence of landmarks in the
first place?

Victor,
I agree to some extent but feel that this should be implemented by the
browser, not AT.
(as was noted by the style guide group in the previous link).
Landmark roles will be very useful for keyboard-only users as well as AT
users.
Regards,
James

Hello all,
I think we are falling into the trap again of trying to provide
shortcut
keys. Let's leave this to AT. You will never find a shortcut
that makes
everyone happy; there will naturally arise a conflict between
various
keystrokes.
Just my 2 cents.

Great example. What about implementing some Alt+1,2,3..
landmark area navigation? tabindex="-1" is already in
place ..

Here is my new ARIA landmark role example, please check
the markup to
see if it is what you are expecting for land mark roles.
http://test.cita.uiuc.edu/aria/nav/nav1.php
Questions:
1. I didn't know what to put for a "aria-labelledby" on
the
"contentinfo" role. Is that OK?
2. Does this need a role of application?
Sandy you can use this page for testing the extension
changes.
