When dojo displays an alert there is an msaa show event but when it goes away there is no msaa hide event.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Go to http://archive.dojotoolkit.org/nightly/dojotoolkit/dijit/tests/form/test_FilteringSelect.html and tab down to the first FilteringSelect, press the x key to create an invalid value, notice that the alert appears and a msaa show event is fired.  Backspace through the x to get back to having a valid value, the alert disappears, but there is no msaa hide event.

Pete, we fire show and hide events for text leaf of alert accessible. Also you should see reorder event and text inserted/removed on alert accessible (and of course alert event when alert appears). So dojo doesn't show/hide div@role="alert", it adds/remove alert text and therefore no show/hide events on alert.

Pete, please reopen if my observations aren't correct. Closing as incomplete for now.
