This patch looks good - I've committed it.

Next step is to try this in a screen reader, to see what it does.

IE is not ARIA compliant, so it says nothing.
FF occasionally says the updated percentage number.
It would be good to add some other markup (ARIA or not) that would help screen readers say something vaguely useful.

Adds valuetext for global progress bar.
As David menioned in the mailing list, JAWS and other AT should either support this attribute now or will soon.

Just a little note to say I'm sort of surprised at the verbosity of aria-valuetext in the patch (I looked at b). I'm not saying it is "wrong", but it seems to me that ARIA should provide another mechanism for telling the user this kind of information. The essence of valuetext is to simply encode valuenow in a text form... e.g. valuenow="5", valuetext="5 fishies". Anyways, please don't change anything... especially if this is making a nice experience for screen reader users.

The ARIA status of the individual file progress bars still needs to be updated.

As Michelle has indicated above, only the over-all progress bar has aria added. However, how should we go about having multiple progress bars output their status at the same time without it being confusing? I suppose the individual ones should only inform of their progress when focused. If this is the case, should the total progress still be announced when an individual one is focused?
