 > Added an optional version that makes use of the jQuery library included
 with Wordpress to set the landmark roles. This means that the HTML is
 still valid.

 I just tried this patch against SVN R10943, and it doesn't work. JAWS does
 not report the landmarks don't show up on either the front page or the
 single post views. The patch applied cleanly, so the approach to do it via
 jQuery doesn't seem to work right yet.

 Peter, did JAWS show you the landmarks when you implemented this version
 of the patch?
