Comment (by afercia):

 Reading this patch after some months :) I'm not sure the ARIA roles used
 here are 100% correct, where `role=list` and `role=listitem` are used,
 they should probably be `role=listbox` and `role=option` in order to
 correctly apply the `aria-selected` property, see http://www.w3.org/TR
 /wai-aria/states_and_properties#aria-selected
 Would love some feedback from experts.

 Also as @iseulde pointed out, wpLink is under revision for other
 improvements, it would be nice to integrate in the new version the parts
 of this patch that are still applicable.
