In a test using `<mark>`, `role="mark"`, `role="deletion"`, or `role="insertion"`, VoiceOver with Safari does not announce the opening of the sentence, instead jumping to where the element starts.
To replicate:
1. Open Safari and activate VoiceOver
2. Go to https://cdpn.io/aardrian/debug/rNRxZmP
3. Use the `read-all` command (VO + A)
4. Observe how, for most paragraphs, the first words are not announced.
Other notes:
* The unannounced text appears in the speech viewer.
* The unannounced text appears in the Braille viewer.
* The text is announced using other navigation methods.
* The text is announced in Chrome when using read-all.
* The text is announced in Firefox when using read-all.
* Code visible at https://codepen.io/aardrian/pen/rNRxZmP
More details:
* The buggy MARK examples only start announcing at `<mark>`, `<mark role="mark">`, and `<span role="mark">`.
* The buggy DEL examples only start announcing at `<del role="deletion">` and `<span role="deletion">`. There is no issue with `<del>`.
* The buggy INS examples only start announcing at `<ins role="insertion">` and `<span role="insertion">`. There is no issue with `<ins>`.
* The buggy S examples only start announcing at `<s role="deletion">` and `<span role="deletion">`. There is no issue with `<s>`.
The attached video demonstrates this. It has no captions.

The following bugs also have clipped announcements, though the scenarios and elements are far different:
* 249154: AX: Role of combobox on button cuts off screen reader announcement (voice over) https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=249154
* 285047: AX: combobox button value text clipped https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=285047

Trying to attach a 1.41 MB video, but keep getting a "413 Request Entity Too Large" error, even though the file upload screen says files up to 1GB are allowed. Will try again later.

Ok, still cannot upload video (tried multiple days and browsers). You can get to the video in this Masto post:
