Comment (by afercia):

 tested a bit the last patch and I'd like to thank you for implementing
 some accessibility features like audible messages. Noticed a few things
 that could be improved though.

 1
 When creating a new page, after pressing the "Add" button, focus is moved
 back to the input field. With some screen readers (e.g. NVDA) this
 prevents the message "Menu item added" to be announced because the
 announcement of the input field immediately interrupts the previous polite
 message. I'd recommend to don't move focus back to the input field.

 Users can add more than one page and when saving the newly added pages get
 published all together. However, seems that the `wp.a11y.speak()` message
 gets just the last page. See in the screenshot below, where I've added and
 published the "Music" and "Movies" pages but just "Movies" is used for the
 aria live message. Haven't looked at the code though, it could be that
 there are multiple, consecutive, messages and just the last one gets
 announced.

 Also, the message should not contain the last part "Edit it here etc...".
 Maybe, announcing the number of published pages would be more useful,
 something like "2 new pages published".

 3
 The published pages get a blue border to give a visual indication they're
 "new". It would be great to add also some hidden text or something in the
 markup in order to have something in the markup that can be read out by
 assistive technologies to announce those pages as "new":

 4
 When opening a new page menu item, there's a notification that uses the
 same blue border already used for the menu item. Maybe it's just me but I
 find this a bit confusing, maybe UI/design people could give some feedback
 here.

 The link to edit the page should make sense even when read out of context.
 I'd strongly recommend to avoid "here" links. Worth considering in the
 admin these "edit" links are expanded with an `aria-label` attribute to
 add the page name. Maybe the whole notification text should be reviewed a
 bit to highlight the most important thing: the page was just published
 '''and it's an empty page'''.
