Thanks Detlev,

This component does work with both Talkback and VO by basically allowing
the user to double tap the range input min/max buttons to manipulate the
slider position. This is a great fallback for AT users on mobile.

That said, it is not a true slider (role=slider). Can we confirm that
the role=slider is still not supported by VO/Talkback?
