Re: Feedback on numbered paragraphs.

It might be worth pushing your designer on the OL front as that would be by far the best solution.

How important is it that screenreader users hear the word "paragraph" each time? If it's important, could you precede the numbered section with some descriptive wording, possibly hidden off screen, and then you could omit the word "paragraph" from each instance, avoiding confusion when users hear "15 paragraph".

Just out of interest, would changing the wording to "15 paragraph" not fail 1.3.2 Meaningful Sequence?

Cheers.
