 display)
 Yep, we should try to find a new way to convey the tag count info to
 ''all'' users. Probably in plain text wrapped in an element that theme
 authors can style, or using `screen-reader-text` or `aria-label` or
 something. Thinking this will need a bit of research and user testing.

 Meanwhile, a couple of resources. Not saying we should necessarily follow
 these examples, but it's a start :)
