Re: [External Sender] navigation menu: aria or HTML?

Hi Edelényi,

And even better if the <nav> can have an aria-label that provides info
about what sort of navigation it is:-
<nav aria-label="Section navigation">
Sighted users can often work this out by the position, colour and
sstile of the navigation options, but users with sight problems would
likely appreciate this extra info.

Cheers, Isabel
