That makes sense. Thanks for the clarification.

Ideally, I'd love to see something in html5 apps similar to how Android does native scrolling regions.
There if you have 30 items in a master list and only 5 on stage, Talkback will say "Showing items 5 through 10 of 30".

It would be great if there were ARIA attributes we could add to a list element in a scrollable div to get this effect.

No problem. One way this can be helpful is like so.

<div class="hidden">
<button>Scroll Up</button>
<button>Scroll Down</button>
</div>
<div class="scrollable">
Content...
</div>

Then, when Voiceover is enabled, you can remove the class of 'hidden' to
display the scroll buttons at the top of the scrollable div, and when
Voiceover is disabled, the class of 'hidden' can be readded to continue with
the original layout.
