Comment (by afercia):

 Nice to see this is happening :) Tested a bit with Firefox+NVDA and all is
 announced nicely. Compared with the Bootstrap implementation, see
 http://getbootstrap.com/components/#btn-dropdowns-split, there are a
 couple of things that could be improved a bit.
 - the actions in the dropdown should be marked up as an unordered list,
 this way when navigating from the toggle button to the list, users would
 be informed about the number of actions available: "List with nn items"
 - pressing Escape should close the dropdown and move focus back to the
 toggle button
 - when the dropdown is open maybe the toggle button should be visually
 displayed as if it was "pressed"

 Please notice Bootstrap also implements full arrows navigation, to emulate
 the native `<select>` behavior: you can open the dropdown pressing the
 down arrow on your keyboard and navigate through the items with the
 up/down arrow keys. Also, arrows navigation is constrained inside the
 dropdown even if the current implementation doesn't work when using a
 screen reader, would need a `role=application` to actually work. By the
 way I'm not sure we should try to implement arrows navigation, maybe
 better to keep it simple for now :)
