(It’s an AT matter now to deal with this though, in case pronunciation in a screen reader is faulty—I couldn’t test.) That’s the delimiter issue. What’s the exact problem with respect to the markup now? The thread has grown significantly. So far I agree with Mallory in that list markup would not be sufficient for breadcrumbs. That includes both single and nested lists. With lists having being the closest option, using <div> with an ID like “breadcrumb,” inferring some meaning, has always appeared to be a sensible choice. I think what you, Steve, used in 4.13.2 originally was more recommendable. The current <nav>/<ol> approach is problematic because, as has been described, breadcrumbs are not a list of options of equal value. -- Jens O.
