Comment (by afercia):

 @Cheffheid yep using `role="menu"` (or `role="menubar"`) and
 `role="menuitem"` would make screen readers let browsers know of the event
 and so it would work. However, `role="menu"` and  `role="menuitem"` are
 suited for menus like the ones of an application, not for navigation menus
 😞

 > The menu role is appropriate when a list of menu items is presented in a
 manner similar to a menu on a desktop application.
