Reviewing role="log"

The container below has been set with role="log". This role has implicit aria-live="polite" and aria-atomic="false".

• Action: After 8 seconds, a message should be injected into the container below.
• Result: Only newly injected content should also be announced at the next graceful opportunity.

Example

If a screen reader is focused on announcing this paragraph, will the dynamically injected message above affect the announcement of this paragraph? This is how we can determine whether dynamic information is announced immediately, at the next graceful opportunity, or not at all.
