Occasionally none of the standard landmark roles applies to a section of a webpage. It may still be appropriate to give it a landmark and for that purpose the region role is appropriate (see W3C ARIA specs where role is a valid ARIA tag), Div with role="region" and an aria-label can be very useful. NVDA, however, does not recognize "region" as a landmark role and does not announce it or its aria-label property. The information is available in the browser doms, at least for IE and Firefox, and is announced by some other assistive technologies.
