> So, first question is when view is rendered, is the live region also being rendered? Sometimes I noticed voiceover/safari being smart enough to react to a live region and it's change simultaneously.

The live region is already there when the health summary section is rendered, and it is not being re-rendered when the content changes, they just change the message in that live region div.

And I believe that is part of the problem, because the focus is not shifting to the article title when it displays - and I told them that it should. Frankly, I don't think the message 'you are viewing xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx' is even necessary if they just shift focus to the article heading... or the first heading of the content that's being injected.
