@thierrykoblentz @johnfoliot @vick08 @glazou @fantasai @tabatkins ARIA is document layer, full stop. CSS is pres layer. GC is pres layer.

@mollydotcom When you "present" information visually, you need to encode it semantically as well

So @johnfoliot, 1. Presentation is not just visual. 2. Semantics are the duty of the structural layer. Mixing the two is a step backwards

@mollydotcom @johnfoliot surely the argument is flawed. Anything worth making accessible should be in the semantic HTML, not CSS generated.
