JAWS would probably read <li> as "bullet" or with a number, which may be desirable with some lists but could get rather distracting intermixed with dialog. (Unfortunately, I can't easily test this myself because I don't own a copy of JAWS.) And screen reader users are a key audience for <dialog> in the form of transcripts. More specialized markup might well end up being paradoxically more backwards compatible. -- Benjamin Hawkes-Lewis
