I added endnote markup according to dpub-aria[1] in mediawiki, the software powering wikipedia[2]. During the review process there was the question whether there were any real-world benefits: > Is there a specific use-case for this feature, e.g., a real-world > screen-reader that reads the note differently based on the role?

Does anyone know of such use cases? thanks, tobias [1]: https://www.w3.org/TR/dpub-aria-1.0/ [2]: https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/mediawiki/extensions/Cite/+/459372/
