I think this can be improved. We are putting must in a note, which in itself is confusing. Also, the of course here is redundant, so can be avoided.

Sorry @howard-e I just pressed the button too quickly. For a follow-up PR on my requested changes, see w3c/aria-practices#3366 |
@daniel-montalvo thanks! I updated w3c/aria-practices#3366 title but this change seems good to me cc @mcking65 @a11ydoer, I requested both of your reviews on that to unblock this publication release |
|
@remibetin this is now ready for your review & publication. |

Hello @remibetin! Checking in again if there's anything else needed to move this to publication? |
|
@remibetin did talked about this to me this morning. Just logging it in here. Not a blocker for publication, but something for us to pick up for future fix. The "Read this first" banner is included using client-side JavaScript. It would be more elegant if we could use HTML or a jekyll _include |

@daniel-montalvo @howard-e Published and ready for your QA. |
