OK, then would it not be tenable /at the moment/ to propose 'role="layout"', with a comment to indicate that when and if HTML 5 is specified to use ARIA role names, then the choice of "layout" would need to be re-visited (unless the ARIA specification had itself changed in the meantime to permit the use of "layout") ?
