I was wondering what the purpose of role="alert" being added on the in DataTables 1.9 is. I'm not totally familiar with all the ARIA roles, but it seems, at least using VoiceOver on OS X 10.8.3, that this one makes the table content inaccessible. I was just wondering if there was a specific reason it's there that I'm not seeing before I go trying alternatives.
