Happy to help :)

My original misgivings though had to do with the dynamic insertion of ARIA as a screen reader emulator, which is a different concept.

In contrast, Visual ARIA doesn't add anything to the page other than some data- attributes when Input and IMG elements involving ARIA are detected, in order to handle non-visible :before and :after pseudo element support.

Beyond this basic monitoring though, it is all done using CSS. So really, this is just a visual representation of what AT users encounter daily.

Kind regards,
Bryan
