By allowing these elements to have a role="region" they can be used to identify sub-sections within top level landmarks like role=main. For example: <section role="main"> <h1>My New Paper</h1> <article role="region" aria-labelledby="art1"> <h2 id="art1">My First Article</h2> <p>para 1...</p> <p>para 2...</p> </article> <article role="region" aria-labelledby="art2"> <h2 id="art2">My Second Article</h2> <p>para 3...</p> <p>para 4...</p> </article> <article role="region" aria-labelledby="art3"> <h2 id="art3">My Third Article</h2> <p>para 5...</p> <p>para 6...</p> </article> <aside role="region" aria-label="Today's weather"> <div> ... weather information ...</div> <aside> </section> <footer role="complementary"> <address role="region" aria-label="My News Paper Contact information"> </address> </footer> 121184 1 faulkner.steve 2015-06-17 07:15:41 +0000 see http://www.w3.org/TR/html-aria/
