I don't follow. There are plenty of elements and attributes whose relationship is contiguous or defined in a linear way and they work fine. This comment suggests that writing code in a way that defines the relationships in a "non-serial" or more lateral way is somehow better? Or am I missing something? I guess you can use of aria-describedby to create programmatic associations with content that is in order parts of the document or indeed in other resources/URIs but how is this somehow better?
