But as long as web developers are able to build a dialog out of divs and spans, at least there is a way to give that jumble a role. The use of ARIA should be a smell* yes, but it has been essential to making what exists out there accessible. * the problem is either: the web dev has reinvented something that would have hasd baked-in accessibility had they followed best practice instead, Or, best practice doesn't yet cover what web apps want or need to do...
