Also, assuming the `<nav>`s and search regions are before the `<main>`, do
you usually use `<h2>` for those? I think the `<h1>` should be reserved
for the first thing in `<main>`, so screen reader users can use key
commands to skip to the main content. It seems bad to me to have the
document outline set up like that, but I guess certain page layouts
necessitate it if you are using aria-labelledby (another reason for
aria-label).
