Though I'm not totally sure, I think llandmarks are more like
headings, which indicate specific start points for different sections
of a page. I've not heard an "official" definition from FS or anyone
on this, but this is what I've figured out based on the What's New
page for JAWS 11 and on a few other web pages where they're starting
to pop up.

Hth,
Wayne
