 The [http://www.w3.org/WAI/PF/aria/ WAI ARIA] specification defines a set
 of specialised "landmark" roles. These roles provide a method to
 programmatically identify commonly found sections of web page content in a
 consistent way.

 This allows assistive technologies to provide users with features which
 they can use to identify and navigate to sections of page content. For
 more information see [http://www.paciellogroup.com/blog/?p=106 Using WAI
 ARIA Landmark Roles] by Steve Faulkner.

 This patch adds basic ARIA landmark role information to the default theme.
