Yeah, I totally agree with this. Staying as semantic as possible is the best way to go. With some very judicial use of ARIA I think you can improve the experience a little.

I believe `<main>` is not supported in IE11 - here is a resource that you can use to check HTML5 accessibility compatibility: https://www.html5accessibility.com/

The tricky thing about when you're talking about screen readers is that you now have to take into account browser support AND screen reader support, which can sometimes multiply the amount of test cases for things.

Hey, author of the post here :)

Thanks so much for sharing, and I'm glad to see some good discussion going on here! I'd love to answer any other questions people might have.

Also, for those newer to the accessibility space, I have a free email course that covers 10 common accessibility mistakes, how to fix them, and the accessibility principles behind them. Here is a link to the course: https://benrobertson.io/courses/common-accessibility-mistake...

If you want see the material but not sign up for an email thing, I have a talk recorded covering the same material: https://benrobertson.io/accessibility/common-accessibility-m...

Like I said, happy to answer any accessibility questions people might have!
