Do empty ordered lists cause problems for screen readers?
We have a page where lots of information is output via tables and lists.
We are using primefaces and jsf in combination with standard html markup.
For some unknown reason the code is outputting an ol with an li that is empty. We can't seem to figure out why it is doing this or how to get rid of it.
So my question is, is this one empty ol going to cause any major issues for people using assitive technology.
I have tested it in NVDA, and this screen reader ignores it.
Does anyone know if other AT will have trouble with this empty ol ?
Thanks in advance for any help

I think they will just ignore it, since they're empty.
