I am concentrating on IE-7 since it is our agency's standard browser, but will probably give FF a try too since I have it installed. We will probably get to IE-8 later this spring since we have a request to test that as well. The permutations of AT, Browser, and Office suites is starting to get interesting over here. It's a good thing that we got a few copies of partition magic this week. Just part of the fun of trying to identify a single standard platform that will work for everyone.

Mike, are you testing with multiple browsers too? Is specific browser
support required to make landmark roles useful, or is it strictly a
screen reader support issue? Anyone?

Thanks,

Yes, I would like to test how well our screen reader candidates work
with the ARIA landmark roll on different sites where it has been
implemented.
