But as far as i know, screen readers do not pick up IDs or classes?
So even by declaring a div ID="mainNav", it's still not enough to
describe what's inside the div?
I'm starting to get awfully confused...
A div is an element primarily intended for grouping blocks of content -
hence it defaults to "block" with no further default styling or meaning
in most UAs.
The meaning of IDs and classes is mostly on your (designer/developer)
side of the fence, when you work on the markup.
Normally not enough artificial intelligence at the other side (user-end)
to interpret the meaning of IDs and classes. Well-chosen headlines with
suitable text at or near the beginning of each area make more sense there.
