NVDA Browse Mode and ARIA-Label

Hello,



Does anyone know the story with NVDA and the ARIA-LABEL tag in HTML. When
this is used as a label, NVDA seems to support it in focus mode but in
browse mode with both IE and Firefox, NVDA doesn't seem to show the
ARIA-Label info. In IE you get radio buttons indicated one per line. In
Firefox, multiple radio buttons are run together on a single line.



An example page where this is used is at
http://html.cita.illinois.edu/nav/form/aria/index.php?example=2.



Browse mode is the mode of NVDA where you can use cursor keys as an example
to move through all web content.
