Thanks Bryan

I'll sign in and add my comments later today.
I agree with the discussion that alllandmarks whose name has been
explicitly set by the author should be exposed by default and I will
add that the banner andcontentinfo regions of the page should also be
exposed in that setting, regardless whether the role is explicitly
added or inherited from HTML5 (<header> and <footer>).
I see room for configuration for unlabeled nested landmark regions,
e.g. articles sections, complementary regions an general purpose
regions landmarks with no accessible name.
