Describe the bug
The Severity level and icon used of an InfoBar is not communicated to users using screen readers.

Steps to reproduce the bug
In Narrator, navigate to the InfoBar XCG page and re-open an InfoBar. Only the Title and Message properties are announced without keyboard focus.

Expected behavior
The Severity level (Informational/Success/Warning/Error) and icon are communicated with behavior like "Error InfoBar, ErrorBadge icon"

Open questions

  • Since the Severity level and icon are not tied to a specific UIA field, how can these take Narrator focus?

How is narrator going to get info about the icon? Our icon system doesn't support this today.

@gabbybilka @YuliKl @StephenLPeters we can make the icon a narrator stop and announce the severity based on the Severity level property. We cannot announce the icon itself but there is always a severity level set on the InfoBar we can use.
