No, calling it a collection doesn't change anything. The fact that it is a collection, and the fact that that information is conveyed to screen readers through the browser's accessibility API, is the pertinent fact. "I fail to see what impact this would have on software and users. The number of items is no more (and no less) definite than in the other case. (And a browser cannot tell the number without parsing and counting the <li> elements, just as it can count <a> elements.)" The nav and ul elements are already supported by browsers and screen readers. The breadcrumb is a design pattern based on elements according to their current spec definitions. Léonie.
