Wow - that's quite a heated discussion.

In the context where the current page isn't part of the breadcrumb
list, "You are here" is a totally inappropriate and misleading
heading. Something along the lines of "Go back to" might work better.

I'd love to know whether any meaningful user testing has been done in
the wild to ascertain which term users prefer. Perhaps WebAIM could
address this topic in its next screenreader user survey :-)
