Post author here. I'm very curious about the screen reader idea. If you or someone else is able to confirm what a good screen reader might do currently / what it might do with an empty list element, I'll happily update the post to whatever is the better behavior.
I wish there were a best practices doc + a matching linter for accessibility things like this.

Different screen readers are notoriously inconsistent though. > I wish there were a best practices doc + a matching linter for accessibility things like this. This sounds like it was meant to be a fun tweak/joke for screen readers but it's accessible without. So it's not practical to automate a lot of accessibility checks like this one because it depends on context and there's subjectivity to it, similar to visual design and text readability. The best way to get more of a feel for this is to try a popular screen reader for your OS, do the tutorial, and try it on the page yourself.
