Jared's response to the question that started off this thread is most
accurate IMO.
And I have to disagree with my friend Birkir when he categorically
states, "So I think this argument actually holds, that aria-invalid +
aria-describedby are required for an error message to pass 3.3.1".
Here is an article, "Using Aria-invalid for Error Indication" I wrote
before I wrote up the first draft for the technique ARIA21. The
examples and some text in the technique are from the blog article I
had written.
