This point is worth noting. Appropriate semantic markup for application controls does not mean extra work has to be done by a screen reader or other assistive technology, as Shelley suggested. Rather, the browser engine directly exposes such controls to the appropriate accessibility API, and the screen reader at the other end doesn't even have to know if it's a real control or ARIA.
