I don't think you need any ARIA markup for this. We have tested this type of
functionality with screen reader users several times and they have always
been able to understand what is happening. The article you mentioned
acknowledges that it is necessary for the user to have this understanding.
If they don't, then the ARIA won't help them. If they do, our experience
suggests that they don't need the ARIA.
