Hi,
I was asked today about the support for simulating an OL tag structure using ARIA, and this appears to be covered in the spec using role="listitem" plus aria-posinset and aria-setsize like so:

<div role="list">
<div role="listitem" aria-posinset="1" aria-setsize="2" >
Item One
</div>
<div role="listitem" aria-posinset="2" aria-setsize="2" >
Item Two
</div>
</div>

Does anybody know what the current level of browser support for this is though? It doesn't appear to do anything in FF on Windows for example.

Thanks,
Bryan
