http://esw.w3.org/topic/PF/ARIA/BestPractices/Tests

This page has test examples for the standard role values found in this
specification which the U. of Illinois Firefox plug-in exposes through
their UI :

Here is an exposure of the navigation landmarks on the page from this
specification using the plug-in:
