+1 to Aditya too! Love that logic for tab order

But ... And I hate to disagree with Glen on anything, I don't think
aria-live should be used referencing carousel slide text. I've come across
carousels with aria-alert on the slide as it comes into view, and in some
browsers it is like having a video with sound that starts automatically. The
difference being that the screen reader and video volume can be controlled
separately, but the alert is read by the screenreader, and it's almost
impossible to identify the pause button if the slide transitions don't have
large enough pauses.
IMHO Potentially creates a page you just have to close.
