Right: I put the word "selected" or "unselected" after each item
because Narrator and JAWS don't properly announce the state of the
item. Clearly this causes problems for some other screenreaders. I'm
going to go with how it works now, because that supports (1) Narrator
and (2) JAWS but I'll test it out again to see if the logic works.

Cheers,
Alasdair
