They don't seem to have any sort of special 'aria' landmarks that an AT might use. Is there something we should be doing in that respect? I am developing an extension to ReSpec for permalinks, and I would like them to be "accessible". Heh. Looks like the spec was using @title instead of @aria-label. VoiceOver speaks these without issue, but this might cause Jaws, NVDA, or Orca to speak, "number", "hash", or "pound" instead of the link title. <a href="#abstract" title="Permalink for Abstract">#</a> ReSpec should use: <a href="#abstract" aria-label="Permalink for Abstract">#</a> Where "Abstract" is the unique heading text, of course.
