Jason's Emails

Lionel_Wolberger: I read 3 ARIA post-source remedations examples from Jason's email of 3 December 2025
… In the real world, accessibility enhancements—especially ARIA attributes—are often introduced after a website is built.
… These are not theoretical patterns. Governments, Fortune-100 companies, agencies, and SaaS platforms all use “post-source accessibility layers” to retrofit ARIA without rewriting original code.
… Example 1: GOV.UK: Injecting aria-live and Fixing Conditional Reveals
… Example 2: Enterprise AEM Site (Fortune 100): Accessibility Overlay Layer
… Example 3: Agency Case Study (BakkenBæck / Phantom): ARIA Roles Added Post-Build

Mike: We will need citations.
… if this is Jason's own work, then it will not be as powerful as having evidence from a 3rd party

<Mike> I think this is an important post that we should take into consideration.
