Re: Buttons out of context

How about taking advantage of the fact that aria-labeledby can take a list
of space-separated values?...

<span id="1">maths papers</span><button arial-labeledby="2 1"><span
id="2">Download</span></button>

<span id="3">geography papers</span><button arial-labeledby="4 3"><span
id="4">Download</span></button>

<span id="5">physics papers</span><button arial-labeledby="6 5"><span
id="6">Download</span></button>
