In the new toolbar there are accessible announcements when a new tray is opened. This is achieved by an ARIA live region on the page.

As a screen-reader user I can still find the message that is announced on the page after it is announced. Can this message be removed from the live region some time after it is added, so that it is no longer visible to screen-reader users? Some testing would need to happen to find out if a screen-reader that has yet to read the announcement will be unable because the node is removed.

Sounds like a good idea, but I'm not sure how to proceed with this. Could we use onfocus to determine if it's been read & then remove it?

Can we put a label on the live region explaining what it is? That the text inside might be duplicated? There's no way to know when the content of a live region has been announced.

Moving to the JavaScript component since this is more general than just the Toolbar module.
