      Related: “[Of the 2 million .gov pages scanned:] * Nearly 12 million #WCAG 2.1 AA errors * An average of 4.69 #accessibility errors per page * Over one million errors in three .gov domains” Isn’t this another signal to raise the bar for ourselves? fcw.com/articles/2021/07/22/fed-website-accessibility.aspx

      How would 👉 you go about the headline? Also, “2% of the Top 100 U.S. Websites Use Valid HTML?” Or, “98% of the Top 100 U.S. Websites Use Invalid HTML”? Or something else?
