Description

Accessibility can be improved easily with the WAI-ARIA Framework https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Learn/Accessibility/WAI-ARIA_basics by adding certain attributes to the Markup.

In case of wicket-autocomplete it would be very helpful to add some of those Attributes to the Markup

For example

aria-autocomplete on the searchfield https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/Accessibility/ARIA/Attributes/aria-autocomplete

aria-live on the Resultlist or an element surrounding the Resultlist https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/Accessibility/ARIA/Attributes/aria-live

I can help with the implementation
