JAWS does not announce the HTML <mark> attribute without CSS included

[Ewallye]

We have found that using JAWS 2020 and 2021 that the HTML attribute is not announcing as expected unless the CSS is included from the following example from Steve Faulkner | December 5, 2017 (https://www.tpgi.com/short-note-on-making-your-mark-more-accessible/) is used.

NVDA announces the attribute as "marked content" with no added CSS to assist.

Expected result

When using only the HTML attribute the marked content would announce some sort of "marked" announcement to provide context to the user using the screen reader.

Is there a way to add the same support as done with NVDA for the attribute?

Actual result

It does not announce when only using the attribute. The CSS must be added from the URL provided in the summary for JAWS to announce it effectively.

Even giving a role as role="mark" is not identifying. Till when can we expect the issue resolved.
