Thank you, Patrick. I appreciate your quick response. Is there any kind of landmark failure that you'd consider a hard WCAG failure? I would be grateful for a few more opinions from members of this group. My team is divided, and it would be great to know whether there's a prevailing viewpoint.

Personally, I'm not sure if I'd necessarily hard-fail these situations, but I'd mention them as best practice recommendations under 1.3.1 (and/or possibly 4.1.2, though strictly that one is more for interactive components/widgets - but I admit to sometimes sneaking in some ARIA specific things there) P -- Patrick H.
