Proposed clarification for H93 and F77: <start note> Note: While checking for non-unique ids, validators consider id values of elements that are hidden and not rendered on the page. However, For the purpose of this SC (or from an accessibility standpoint), hidden elements using non-unique id values are problematic only if these elements are referenced by a WAI-ARIA attribute like aria-describedby, aria-labelledby etc. </end note> F77 begins with, "failure condition where duplicate ID errors are known to cause problems for assistive technologies ...": Is this not capturing the SC's intent with respect to ids? G134 too acknowledges , "Validation will usually eliminate ambiguities (and more) because an essential step in validation is to check for proper use of that technology's markup (in a markup language) or code (in other technologies)".
