[JAWSLite] Do websites need to mark the selected option for blind users?

Hello,

imagine you have a set of menu options on a website. Usually websites
mark the selected option visually, but not within the code. If you
selected "About us", one could think to mark this option as "About us
(selected)" for the visually impaired if they are on that page.

I have not seen this technique anywhere on the net. Is this something
that is either not necessary or not yet thought of?

Comments welcome. Thank you.

Cheers,
 
Jens
