Description

We need to review the ARIA spec and decide what are the appropriate roles to be used for the Lightbox thumbnails and for portlets, given the available options.

    If ARIA roles are to be added programmatically, and roles will be different based on what is being reordered, we probably need a pluggable way for the client of the Reorderer to tell the Reorderer what roles to add to the orderable items.

    We've determined that the roles of 'grid' and 'grid-cell' are the best possible match for the Lightbox and for the Portal.

    Roles were made pluggable through an optional parameter to the Reorderer called 'role'. The Reorderer defaults to using a role of 'list' for the container and 'list-item' for the items. Other possibilities can be selected by using 'fluid.roles'. Currently the only other option is 'grid'.
