Landmarks were special kinds of roles, they didn't override native markup semantic but rather were used to add a new semantic. This behavior was used on the web and in Gecko. For example HTML table@role="main" was exposed to AT as a landmark table. Now new behavior requires us to expose it as a landmark accessible with no role. I don't see a good reason of this. Thanks.
