Conversations around semantic HTML make me wonder: asking devs / product teams to use semantic tags, ARIA attributes, etc. doesn't seem to work; perhaps we should focus on making screen readers and other assistive tools smarter?
Put another way, where's the assistive technology equivalent of OXO Good Grips? I'd imagine a tool that is part ad-blocker, part auto-summarizer, part navigation helper, part personal curation assistant; that does the Right Thing (tm) 90-95% of the time, even on highly dynamic web applications (since that's already _way_ better than the proportion of sites / applications built with a11y in mind); that people in general find to be a superior user experience, regardless of whether they have disabilities or not.
