The built-in roles for xhtml2:role are all related to navigation. In addition, HTML's <link rel=""> can be used to expose the same navigation roles. The navigation roles are: - banner, contentinfo, main, navigation, note, search, secondary, seealso We need to expose these navigation landmarks at least in ISimpleDOMDocument, perhaps in a new cross-platform interface.

We do expose the roles via role strings. It would be nice to do the link rel trick I suppose.

We shouldn't support this. It's better to standardize on 1 way to do ARIA landmarks.
