I have a little question about the LiveAnnouncer, here related to the comboBox. When I have an input field which triggers opening of the list box on focus, the announcer then reads "X suggestions found" before there is time to announce what kind of element we are in. (I my case I have a list which already has a set of options that show before I write anything in the input). In other words, it first reads how many suggestions we have, then that we are in a combobox with a list.

This sounds a little bit weird (and would in my mind make more sense the other way around). Have you made any thoughts on the level of this announcement, and perhaps setting it as polite instead of assertive? Or at least doing it somewhat configurable?
