An aria of ARIA
summary
Claims that ARIA is fickle and that naive ARIA use increases breakage (WebAIM finds ARIA pages had 41% more errors in a 1M‑homepage study). Describes a small janky demo at Gregorianny.app and a practical system: a lint + language‑server that validates role names, enforces element‑role compatibility, flags well‑supported semantic HTML, checks aria-label style (capitalization, no sentence punctuation), verifies required attributes (alt, live regions, dialogs), and emits errors at compile time so incorrect ARIA is caught before runtime.
