We are adding the following User Agent Note, and augmenting the
description. We agree that this technique is not currently well
supported by assistive technology.

User Agent Note:

Although the context information is programmatically associated with
the link, assistive technology lacks commands for reading this
content.

Add to Description:

"Because current AT does not include commands to query information
contextual information provided by parent list items, use of this
technique requires users to navigate the list one item at a time.
Therefore, this technique may not be appropriate for very long or
deeply nested lists."
