Re: ARIA roles and multiple descendants

It's getting better, but I only tested the combinations I mentioned
(Jaws with most recent versions of Edge, Chrome and Firefox).
Edge - almost works, once you open the accordion and close it again
the accordion content is still exposed.
* Chrome and Firefox - works
* IE11 - does not work and never will, but it's time we move past IE11.
Have not had a chance to test on iOS/Android/OSX.


Since the control is exposed by the browser, NVDA should yield the
same result as Jaws.
Since I have a girl who is turning 8 years old today I won't have time
to "muck around" with testing until tomorrow.
