Re: examples of aria-flowto in the wild?

JAWS supports aria-flowto. JAWS announces the presence of aria-flowto or
flowfrom (flowfrom is calculated and not in the markup). JAWS uses the =
key with flowto and shift+= key for flowfrom. If there is only one item to
flowto/flowfrom using the key stroke will take you there. If there are
multiple choices, JAWS pops up a dialog, you use the arrow keys to move
focus to your choice. I believe the ENTER key dismisses the dialog and
takes you to your choice.

I could see flowto being used in research articles on Egyptology where an
author may make a statement and have a list of references or passages that
support the statement. Bibles that are in English/old English/Greek where
you may want to switch to an older version would be another effective use
of flowto. Or Bible references where similar ideas/passages are present in
different books Luke/Mark/Matthew. Another effective use would be in the
Washington Post's weekly article that rates a politicians statements with a
number of Pinnochio's (the less truthful, the more Pinnocchios) and then
analyzes the statement.  The article can get quite long and using flowto's
could pop the person directly into the contradictory info with equal
effect.

Any hints if major AT vendors are supporting aria-flowto at all?
