            Bug ID: 226918
           Summary: AX: CSS list-style influences role/semantics
           Product: WebKit
           Version: Safari 14
          Hardware: iPhone / iPad
                OS: iOS 14
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: Accessibility
          Assignee: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org

When a UL element is provided with "list-style: none" in CSS, the semantics of the UL element are removed. The UL is not announced as a list by VoiceOver, it's announced as a group of text.

Example: https://codepen.io/jeffsmith/pen/oNZPXGz

Three UL elements are provided in this example:

* The first is a standard UL with no CSS styling.
* The second is a standard UL, with a class added to provide "list-style: none" styling for the list.
* The third is similar to the second, with the explicit role="list" added to the UL element.

The first list is announced as expected, the second and third are announced as a group of text. Presentational elements (CSS) should not be in a position to be influencing the semantics of HTML and how a screen reader announces those semantics.
