Works

• JAWS 15.0.12085 with IE 11.0.9600.17280
• NVDA 2014.3 with FF 33.1
• VO OS X 10.9.5 with Safari 7.0.6
• TalkBack with Android 4.4.2 with "Internet" 1.5.28
• iOS 8.1.1 VO Safari (just the first time)

Doesn't work with just role="status", but works due to explicitely setting aria-live to polite.

• TalkBack with Android 4.4.2 with Chrome 39.0.2171.59
• NVDA 2014.1 with IE 11.0.9600.17280
