Hi Kim. Landmarks allow for grouping of similar elements and content. I have not yet truly understood their usefulness, but I think I understand the underlying logic. As good or as bad as the overall web page I guess.
I did see some research which suggested that Window-Eyes was not up to standard, as other screen readers have routinely identified landmarks for some time. If this is correct, at the very least Window-Eyes has caught up again, and possibly moved web access up a gear or two. There is discussion of landmarks in the Window-eyes v8 manual. Vaughan.
