I am reminded of when `display: contents` claimed full support even though using it on structural or interactive elements broke them in *every* browser.

Lola’s work needs your support.

“Accessibility-first screen reader prediction” is not a solution, folks.

Parsing a DOM and building your _own_ accTree to then *emulate* how desktop screen readers _might_ announce a page as if *maybe* using read-all just ends up putting more burden on human testers.

Never mind missing the bugs, features, heuristics, and more built into a DOM parser and screen reader engine.

Unless your goal is satisfy a dashboard while removing humans from your #accessibility testing.

This explains why the product shots looked so weird on the models — plaids with perfect lines, weird folds, and odd artifacting when zoomed. The cardboard cut-out model was just the uncanny bonus.

Ok, tab closed.
