Actually screen readers do jump to html5 regions the same way we move to
aria land marks. The newest version of jaws has at long last given us the
ability to jump to a main content landmark but I have not done enough
testing yet to see if it uses the html 5 equivalent yet. Not I want to
remind you that if you do mark up using both html 5 and aria on the same
markup it will say something like navigation region nave region on witch
does become to verbos. As a user I hait seeing to many navagation regons in
a page because they offen are not nav type elaments and it just gets far to
confusing wqitch nave regon do I want the first the second or the bottom one
or the nested one.
