One should always avoid using generated content for any content that requires structural data for #a11y and UX. Full stop. @johnfoliot

@sturobson @mollydotcom I'm simply posing the question. We have a problem; we need a solution.

@johnfoliot @sturobson I don't agree that there is a problem with the overuse of GC largely due to lack of support until latter day IE

@ppatel It's too late: Generated Content is just that, content. It should be generated for all, not just sighted @jared_w_smith @mollydotcom

Yo @johnfoliot - Did you see @oliverlindberg asking for an article on your POV? I think you should write it, just wear armored undies :)

@mollydotcom Be the fireman, not the cop. How can we enforce that? Authors are doing exactly this today; can't unscramble an egg

@sturobson see, I don't think so. When you make a declaration for something that has sem value, add ARIA-label then
@sturobson if you create a class called "important" and use either gen content or a bg image of an ! then how do blind know it's important?
@sturobson the sighted user and author knows, 'cause they see the ! and the author uses class="important". But who's missing out? blind user
@sturobson so I could write <div class="important" aria-label="important"> every time, or add the aria stuff to the CSS class...
