Dominic Mazzoni:

For role=application, I basically agree with the advice, but it would be helpful to start the section with a high-level explanation of how some screen readers behave, for context - without needing to reference another source. It'd also be good to note that many screen readers essentially don't behave differently at all (like VoiceOver or ChromeVox).

Accepted: I've made some adjustments to the section. 
I think the bug can now be closed.
