@db@typo.social, I understand the spirit and wonder what issues additional examples would surface! Truncation, for example, is something that should never lead to accessibility issues in the first place (my take), so this could be something to pass on to user agents.
Yet this isn’t to dismiss that some solutions are preferable to others, let alone to disrespect the craft—if anything I feel being lighter about what is strictly “wrong” would help our craft.

As you say, if it gets the job done…
