@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

Oh, I have no illusions on the difficulties involved @johnfoliot - you should know me (and my long work in this area) better than that.

@mollydotcom adding an aria-label to a CSS class might feel dirty, but it solves the problem neatly. Users over authors over implementors...

It doesn't feel dirty @johnfoliot IT IS DIRTY to add ARIA to CSS. The answer is no, ain't gonna happen. So find solutions elsewhere. Enough!

@mollydotcom Don't get it. CSS allow you to hide an element to ARIA but wouldn't be good to say it's a navigation element?

@mollydotcom @johnfoliot Standing with Molly - Keep separation of structure and presentation.
