I asked a coworker who uses Jaws for everything. The results are quite
surprising:

For ordered lists, Jaws reads "I, 2, 3..." It gets everything except the
first one.

My attempt at using a lang attribute in the acronym tag turned out to be
worthless: Jaws reads <acronym lang="la" title="Part V">V</acronym> as "la
V".

As far as I know, the use of lang="la" indicates that not only the element
content but also the element's attribute values are in Latin, and this
conflicts with the language used in the value of the title attribute.
