no support for HTML landmarks

Certain HTML 5 structural elements map to WAI-ARIA landmarks, the mapping
is exposed in Accessibility APIs in supporting browsers, for example in
Firefox:

<nav>  role=navigation
<aside> role=complementary
<section>  role=region (note HTML spec recommends only exposing section as
a region when it has an accessible name [1])
<footer>  element that is not a descendant of an article or
sectionelement.=contentinfo
<header> element that is not a descendant of an article or
sectionelement.=banner
<main> role=main

observed behaviour
when testing Window eyes 8.4 using this test page:
https://rawgithub.com/stevefaulkner/HTML5accessibility/master/tests/structural-elements.html

and navigating using the landmark key ; window eyes reports there are no
landmarks.

expected behaviour:

window eyes provides navigation and announces type of landmark and
accessible name if any (test page includes section element with an
aria-label)
