@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

@mollydotcom then we disagree :-) Won't be the first or last time my dear. Hoping that problem will go away /w just education is PollyAnna

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...
1
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 @johnfoliot if Molly says it is dirty, I for one believe it. What is the topic?

@codepo8 John wants to put ARIA into CSS. @johnfoliot

@mollydotcom @johnfoliot yeah people will be all over that. CSS is too clean now and not enough useless repetition.

I've spent a career working to get presentation out of structure. Now you want to put it back? @johnfoliot - that separation empowered #a11y

@mollydotcom GC is *NOT* just for pretty, there is meaning and it needs to flow through

Okay, I give up @johnfoliot Let's just put it all in a big fucking document and if we can't make it work, add more JavaScript. Oh, wait.

@mollydotcom @johnfoliot Are they bringing back frontpage?
Replying to @mholzschlag
@mollydotcom no, I want to ensure that when images that are used in CSS backgrounds have meaning, the meaning is conveyed to the blind

Replying to @mholzschlag
@mollydotcom I also want a simple, clean solution that devs will use, not jumping through a million hoops using tricks and hacks
