Description

Adding an issue to track the progress on adding aria-posinset and aria-setsize support to role=toolbar in the ARIA spec, as well as implementations in Chromium and NVDA/JAWS.

Once the support is there, we will switch the tag list semantics from listbox/option to toolbar + buttons with explicit aria-posinset and aria-setsize.

The benefit of toolbar over listbox is virtual cursor access to the selected items, as well as enabling better semantic overflow behavior.
