The status of a task within a test plan ("In Progress", "Has Conflicts", "Completed", "Not Started") is conveyed visually both via a custom icon, and a span with a title.

<li class="test-name-wrapper in-progress">
    <a href="#" class="test-name" aria-current="true">Close a modal dialog using a button</a>
    <span class="progress-indicator" title="In Progress"></span>
</li>

This makes the information not properly available to screen readers, and the meaning of the custom icons is not obvious through a legend elsewhere on the page.

Are there in the current design considerations for making this status information reliably available?
