Dear All, The discussion around future methods of error handling has been really interesting. I'm still left wondering, however, about way more supported, solid HTML + JavaScript methods - and success stories of solutions within a small screen environment. For real-world developers still having to support browsers that don't support aria this is a major problem which needs a clear solution, and for users a level of consistency to error handling on a small screen would be welcomed - to my mind, in the form of a mobile technique.

Sailesh Panchang expressed doubts as to whether we really need aria-errormessage, saying we can do the same thing with aria-describedby. Following that we discussed the subject a bit more on a11ySlackers.
