Comment (by afercia):

 While not strictly related to this ticket, I'd say making `tagchecklist` a
 list it a nice addition :) The benefit is that a proper semantics gets
 used by software to announce what actually is a list of selected tags as a
 list, including the number of items in the list.

 Worth noting Safari 10 has a bug: when lists are styled removing the
 "bullets", it doesn't expose the list as a list to assistive technologies.
 That's the reason why sometimes we're adding `role="list"` to a `<ul>`:
 it's redundant (and the HTML validator will throw a warning) but makes
 Safari happy and should be done here as well.

 Some screenshots when arrowing through content with Safari and VoiceOver:

 The patch looks good to me at a first glance, just a couple things:
 - as far as I know, `display: inline-block;` on a floated element doesn't
 do anything
 - coding standards: please check spaces within parenthesis, e.g.
 `('filter' => 0, 'format' => 'list')` and `$('<li />').text( val )`
