Re: Tooltips and SC 4.1.3

Do SR users get any indication/hint that there is is a tooltip that they 
can get to?

Personally, I'd say yes.
> Understanding 4.1.3 does not mention tooltips explicitly.

There are lots of situations that are not explicitly called out in 
understanding documents, but we can probably look at providing such an 
example if you fancy filing an issue that I can then add to 
https://github.com/orgs/w3c/projects/56/views/1

For 3.2.1 On Focus the change of *content* needs to be dramatic enough 
(such as changing the vast majority of the current screen) to count as a 
change of *context*. Just having more text appear somewhere on the page 
is not a change of *context* generally.

IMO of course
