            Bug ID: 195517
           Summary: AX: Announce list role when an aria-label or
                    aria-labelledby attribute is applied to <ul> or <ol>
           Product: WebKit
           Version: Safari 12
          Hardware: All
                OS: macOS 10.12
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: Accessibility

When an aria-label or aria-labelledby attribute is applied to a <ul> or <ol> element with no visible list markers, VoiceOver will announce the list as a “group”. If the list role was announced in this situation, it would provide a way for web developers to declare a “data list” without the need to use role=“list” which duplicates existing HTML semantics.

Labelling lists in this way would suggest a genuine use of a list, rather than a purely presentational use.
