<div role=note aria-labelledby=ga>
<h3 id=ga>group announcement</h3>
<p>
  With macOS VO and some tests a "group" role announcement can be heard when initially navigating to the disclosure widget trigger.  This announcement is not for the 'details' element, but rather is part of the summary's announcement. It's a bit odd.  
</p>
<p>When expanding the disclosure widget, the exposed content is not contained within the 'group' - hence the role announcement not seeming to represent the container details element.</p>
</div>
    
    <div role=note aria-labelledby=ec>
      <h3 id=ec>headings in buttons</h3>
      <p>With most instances of screen reader/browser pairings where a heading is discoverable, if one has navigated directly to the heading (e.g., by use of the <kbd>H</kbd> key with NVDA), toggling the disclosure widget may not be possible. This is because the screen reader is virtually 'focused' on the heading element, rather than the summary which is the actual toggle control.  In these instances, one MUST navigate to the parent summary to effectively toggle the disclosure widget.
      </p>
      <p>In other cases, such as with macOS + VO - using standard VO navigation (VO key + <kbd>right</kbd> arrow, for instance) the heading may not be discovered. However, if navigating specifically by headings it would be. Or, if one attempted to navigate <strong>into the summary</strong> (VO key + <kbd>down</kbd> arrow), then one could hear the heading role if one was available.</p>
