Overall, we believe that this will be a positive development for the web, especially given the challenges with the existing mechanism of ARIA live regions. However, there are a number of substantive issues that need to be resolved in the specification before we can fully evaluate its impact. For now, we are deferring final assessment of our position until these issues have been resolved.
