Orca might implement that, I'm not sure. But, none of the other screen 
readers implement that one yet.

Re: aria-relevant = removals ?



Hi.

Firefox3 has support of aria-relevant attribute. We set container-relevant 
object attribute as specified by 
http://www.w3.org/WAI/PF/aria-implementation/#States_and_Object_Properties
. As well we fire all notifications events as requested by 
http://www.w3.org/WAI/PF/aria-implementation/#Changes_to_document_content_or_node_visibility
.

Alex Surkov.

Has any one implemented the aria-relevant = removals?  It seems to only 
announce additions and not removals using FF3 and Jaws10.
