I've noticed inconsistencies with other screen readers too. For example,
NVDA will announce ARIA landmarks and move to them with the d keystroke --
however, HTML5 elements such as nav and aside which have direct ARIA
landmark equivalents are not considered landmarks. This is unfortunate
and causes people to add ARIA roles to native HTML5 code.
