Delighted to contribute to the HTMLHell advent calendar. I explained how screen readers don’t always announce what’s visually on screen - through the medium of burritos:

Thanks to experts @matuzo.at and @hidde.blog for making sure the burrito was structurally sound.

The Nu HTML Checker has gotten a bunch of updates to validate ARIA. Try it:
validator.w3.org/nu/

Or run it locally:
validator.github.io/validator/

If you find issues with ARIA validation, _report them_:
github.com/validator/va...

#HTML #ARIA #accessibility #a11y

You might find more info here- css.oddbird.dev/logical/prop.... Also worth checking BCD. If the properties aren't there, it's probable they haven't shipped anywhere yet.

MDN | The background-position CSS property - Does anyone know the status for logical property support with this one? I see it mentioned in the syntax section but I am unsure of the browser support developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/W...
background-position - CSS | MDN
The background-position CSS property sets the initial position for each background image. The position is relative to the position layer set by background-origin.
