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

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

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 When I was getting Javascript errors from Twitter yesterday, they said things like "Error in line 3095". It was a bit alarming.

@mollydotcom I can't remember the actual line numbers, but they were 4-figure ones and the first digit was greater than 1.

@mollydotcom Solve the problem, don't yell at me. *I* didn't allow authors to add critical images to a doc without an a11y backup, CSS did.
