Updated based on the HTML Accessibility API Mappings:

  • aside element in context of body or main element
  • aside element with accessible name in context of article, aside, nav or section element
  • Updated region and form landmark information for consistency for landmarks requiring a label
  • Updated assistive technologies with latest version of SkipTo.js extension information and changed screenshots to use figure and figcaption elements.

We need to clarify what we state about accessible names for these landmark regions. In my tests title did indeed make these landmarks which matches html-aam.
While we would not want to promote this we should be clear as to what actually happens.
