This sounds good enough to me.  On the surface, it almost resembols
frames and the windows implementation of browser navigation uses the m
and shift M keys to navigate between frames.  Well, I don't see all
that many frames anymore and I think Orca uses the object navigation
to deal with that anyway.

One concern I have is I really wonder how much these landmarks will be
used any how.  Hell, the use of heading markup seems to be on the
decrease with a lot of pages and that markup is so valuable to users
of structural navigation and if we have to rely on content developers
to use these new features, well, I ain't holding my breath. <sigh>
