Hi Jonathan, A sighted user can make out the context of the linked text 'Read more' but is unlikely to identify the link by the SPAN text id=s1. I suppose most VI users too will like to identify the link by the linked text and have the contextual text available as its description. Else there will be a disconnect in its identity for sighted v/s non-sighted folks. I believe use of aria-describedby in such a situation is better.
