Note that C27, as a technique, is not mandatory per se. It's only *one* way to address the referenced success criteria (1.3.2 meaningful sequence and 2.4.3 focus order). Both 1.3.2 and 2.4.3 do not mandate that content order/focus order *must* absolutely match the visual layout. Only that it should make sense. So a banner that visually appears at the very bottom of the viewport, but receives focus first/comes first in the reading order, is perfectly acceptable. (for 2.4.3, I've got a pull request awaiting review/survey that would add this clarification more explicitly https://github.com/w3c/wcag/pull/1643 ... I may see if I can/should do a matching one for 1.3.2) P -- Patrick H.
