Re: [device-posture] Accessibility checklist (#147)

@chris480 I gave some thoughts about your comment and I'm not sure if any type of announcement should be expected. Posture changes received by the page are user generated, by that I mean a posture change is triggered when the user physically manipulates the device and changes its posture. 

The only use case I can think of is someone blind/limited visibility who relies on these announcements to make sure a given posture is triggered. For example, to make sure that the laptop is sufficiently folded to be in the folded posture. However, today's hardware really makes it obvious (even for someone with limited visibility) when the hinge moves from a flat position to a folded position (typically a snap). Regardless I think this should likely be the job of the OS to announce posture changes, after all the OS also adapts its UX (for e.g. when you undock the keyboard etc  etc). I don't think Android has specific support for that and Windows most definitely lacks support for foldable (we had to work with OEMs to fill the gaps).

I can't think about all the use cases since I'm not familiar with the problem space of accessibility beyond the basics so take my comments with a grain of salt.
