Labels

Hello

Can buttons be non-descriptive (as per 2.4.6) just for one user group? Aka out of context for screen reader users? To me, if there's some context that enables you to identify the purpose of the button that is not programmatically associated so that it is determined out of context, then this is a higher fail, such as 1.3.1 or 2.5.3?

An example would be multiple buttons with the same label such as 'remove' adjacent to a notification link. The label of that remove button is not just the text 'remove' - the text that enables you to identify the purpose of the button includes the text within the link naming the notification it's referred to. And the visual layout of the links and buttons also adds context. So would you consider this headings and labels or label in name or information and relationships or multiple or neither?

I would say the label is descriptive it's just not completely programmatically associated and could be seen as a label in name fail, but is this overly prescriptive?

Thanks

Sarah
