👁️ Design patterns and WCAG

"The ARIA Authoring Practices Guide (APG) contains an extensive range of design patterns aimed at helping developers to create accessible web experiences using WAI-ARIA. However, while we encourage web authors to follow these design patterns, a common misconception is that their usage is a prerequisite for conformance.

This is not the case."

12 years ago i submitted (along with Mike Smith of @w3c ) a patch for WebKit implementing the <main> element. Whole process was a shit show. I was told by Brendan Eich to take it back to the WHATWG.
