My primary concern is screen readers will list navigation twice when reading aria landmarks, with no way to determine which is the primary and secondary nav. I'd like for there to be a way for some sort of hierarchy to be apparent. It feels like the role 'secondary' could have been used around the subnav, but that is no longer a part of the spec. -Ryan On May 18, 2009, at 9:24 AM, Jon Gunderson wrote: > Ryan, > > You can reuse the role "navigation" if that is what it is.
