I have a few thoughts on these findings: The Almanac says skip links commonly skip to the element; I consider large focusable containers an anti-pattern since they ruin keyboard navigability, and recommend skipping to a heading instead. The Almanac identifies accessible live regions by role="live" . I’d suggest also looking into role="feed" , which represents a common type of live region. Some common accessibility issues I’d be interested in for future editions: Contrast that’s too high Setting custom foregrounds but not custom backgrounds, and vice versa Removing link underlines Focusable containers Using icon fonts without accessible names Overall, it’s a good look at the small subset of accessibility issues that are automatically detectable (most of which are far less critical than manually-detectable issues).
