“Automation is not the enemy”

Karl argues a different point, which is not the opposite of Eric’s.

I agree automation is not the enemy, I also agree automation will not solve web #accessibility. It’s nice when #a11y practitioners agree on things.

One WCAG 2.2 change that is mostly uncontroversial is the purging of SC 4.1.1 Parsing.

Glad <dialog> focus is finally being implemented/defined in a reasonable way after a torturous years long, largely pointless, discussion.

“1. Make the dialog focusing steps look at sequentially focusable elements instead of any focusable element.

2. Make the dialog element itself get focus if it has the autofocus="" attribute set.

3. Make the dialog element itself get focus as a fallback instead of focus being reset to the body element.”
