I have to remind everyone that our previous publication of WCAG 3 had HTML validation errors for which we were granted a one-time exception to be allowed to publish. We set role="region" on the <details> element to get it identified as separate content, but HTML doesn't allow that (there may be an issue to file on HTML). I also have the script putting in a "end of <whatever>" at the bottom of each <details>, so it may meet the need. We also used @summary on <table> to provide a more contextualized title for it for text users, but HTML no longer allows that. I am open to statements of "this feature is essential notwithstanding being non-valid HTML, because no other feature accomplishes the goal", or alternate proposals for how to meet the needs in valid HTML. If I don't get a clear answer before publication, my edits will be to: * Remove @role on <details> * Convert @summary to <caption> and use CSS to hide from visible screen Michael
