Hi again Sylvie,

At this time we have received advice not to rely on WAI-ARIA for a  
solution. Certainly in the future we could adopt WAI-ARIA to address  
issues like this.

I might take to the WAI IG the question of "What's a good way to  
indicate that more content is available if you expand here."
