itself maps to the "banner" landmark from the chapter's table, giving
a screen reader user TWO distinct, correctly nested landmarks (banner
containing navigation) rather than just one.
- With this structure in place, a screen reader user can now pull up
the page's list of landmarks and jump directly to "main," skipping
the navigation entirely if they've already used the site before and
don't need to hear it again — this is exactly the "genuinely powerful
shortcut" the chapter describes, and it simply did not exist at all
when everything was a generic, semantically meaningless .
- Only ONE element should exist per page — using this exact
element for the actual primary content (not just an arbitrarily
chosen container) is what makes the "jump to main content" landmark
shortcut meaningful and unambiguous; having multiple elements,
or using it for something that isn't really the page's core content,
would confuse that navigation shortcut rather than support it.
