Support for message element? #2

Description

@thallada

Hi, thanks for this project. I've struggled with aria-live regions in React before so I'm glad this exists. However, I can't use this library because PropTypes.string is the only allowable type to the message prop.

I need to have an element in the aria-live region. The main reason for this is because I need to wrap the text in a span that indicates the language of the text. E.g.:

<span lang="en">
  Hello, world!
</span>

This is because I use a translations service for all of the display strings in my application, and sometimes, some of the strings are not translated to the user's language. A screenreader needs to know the language of the string to read it out correctly.

I don't know about the internals of this library, but do you think it would be possible to make a change to support passing elements to the message prop (PropTypes.node is a great option for this)?
