My first question: are they lighter than the first iteration? Answer: nope - still 386.2g. Which doesn't read like a lot, but I certainly notice it after an amount of time.

Heh, and as the real text in the left and right sidebars scales, the article preview shrinks. Needs some constraints on the centre column.

A "thank you" for La Liberté éclairant le monde.

Yes. Output can be sent to a Braille device too.

The statement is about encouraging folks to use the platform: `<button>Hello!</button>` over `<div role=button tabindex=0>Hello</div>`

One way to frame it is: "how would I describe this image to somebody sat next to me?"

Apt, given the earlier discussion around Nolan Lawson's article: when used diligently, ARIA can help turn that div soup into something users, user agents, assistive technologies _and_ developers can make better sense of.

Having recently visited Germany via plane, they have certainly gotten stricter/performative. Leaving Munich for London and despite already have presented passports to immigration, they had police checking passports on the gangway to the aeroplane…

Indeed: can you imagine attempting to disambiguate a list of links that all say "Click here" or "Read more"?
