What is the problem?

Notifications are currently always aria-live=polite, which can delay their announcement by screen readers significantly. Certain types of notifications, e.g. errors, should probably be announced immediately as they occur, as the continued use of the application may be affected.

An API should be introduced to notifications that allows the developer to change them to be aria-live="assertive".

Java API proposal: setAssertive(true)
WC API propsal: assertive boolean attribute/property
