    @nathanhammond if you have the time to address issues in unsupported platforms then fair enough but I think you will find yourself frustrated.

    [nathanhammond] I'm fully expecting frustration, but the part that drives me nuts is that this worked in Firefox 41 or 42 and now it's broken in 44 and 45.

    [nathanhammond] And since FirefoxDeveloperEdition isn't identified by whitelist as a browser in VoiceOver I can't really test nightlies.

    I wouldn't lose sleep over it. I'm really don't think FF & VO has ANY users

    Does anyone have an good documentation on how to deal with updating views like in a Single Page App?

    I'm testing with my screenreader and when you hit a new view there's no indication of course because it's been replaced by Javascript.

    It's worrying that there doesnt seem to be much discussion of this in major Javascript routers, either that or I'm not looking in the right places :/

    I know Angular has some good efforts though?

    I don't know; it's not my world.

    I know there are people in the communities (Angular/React) that are a11y people, but not sure how well the community has adopted it

    @nickcolley Definitely working on that for Ember. :) ember-a11y which should "just work" for users of Ember.

    @nickcolley https://github.com/nathanhammond/ember-a11y/blob/master/app/components/focusing-outlet.js#L36-L45 is approximately all the magic.

    @nickcolley To get (my) desired reading behavior I make sure that the entire new page area (outlet in Ember parlance) is wrapped in a div.
