See survey results form comment 156:

"...by default if these properties are not
provided the user agent will compute and set this property [SETSIZE] on supporting
roles based on the assumption that all elements in the list are in the DOM."

The user agent isn't adding this information to the DOM right?  (Just to the a11y tree)
Comment 3 David Bolter 2010-01-05 18:30:56 UTC 
I've reviewed the response in http://www.w3.org/WAI/PF/Group/comments/details?comment_id=156 and it looks correct. I think we can just incorporate prose from this into the impl guide if we want.
Comment 4 David Bolter 2010-03-29 19:27:44 UTC 
Note the situation for specifying the size when not all the children are in the DOM is where the children are getting added/removed based on scrolling, or timing, or ajax etc. Only a portion of the total children might be actually in the DOM.
