  <p><strong>Notes:</strong></p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>I'm familiar with the <a href="http://www.w3.org/WAI/PF/aria/roles#slider" rel="noreferrer">slider</a> role, but this refers to a different type of widget.</li>
  <li>The example is from <a href="http://www.usa.gov/" rel="noreferrer">USA.gov</a> and the only aria role I see in use that's related to the carousel is <code>aria-live</code> on the individual slides.</li>
  </ul>
