Braw mornin' TAG!

I'm requesting a TAG review of a Confirmation of Action API.

ARIA live regions are the only mechanism available today that communicate content changes down to the accessibility layer so that users can hear about them. ARIA live regions are stretched far beyond their original use cases as authors struggle to use them in scenarios that they weren't designed for. We propose a notification API purpose-built to communicate to the accessibility layer for scenarios in which ARIA live regions are a poor choice. One of these scenarios is a "confirmation of action" where the action in question is not necessarily tied to UI (elements) in the app.
