RE: About role="list" and simulating OL markup?

So, adding aria-posinset and aria-setsize on role="listitem' is supposed to
turn the list into an ordered list?
I didn't realize that.

The markup you provided works fine, but is exposed as an unordered list,
with and without aria-setsize/aria-posinset.

Thanks, so I'll pass this along as a mapping issue at present.

Otherwise known as UIA Expresss.  The MSAA+UIA Expresss mappings were
removed from the Core-AAM last September as "deprecated" [1] [2]. 
However, Mozilla has indicated they are going to implement them, and it is
under discussion as to whether to "un-deprecate" them [3].

If they are reinstated, then they likely won't be identical to the ARIA
1.0 mappings.  Cynthia wrote, " If we do that, I propose we start by copying
the UIA column, and then making notes where there is a difference."

The bottom line is that the exact details of the mappings for the UIA
Express platform is unknown at the present time.
