Hey #a11y folks, suppose I have a form with a button that opens a mini-form in a popover or dialog. Does it make sense to stick things like `aria-required` or `aria-invalid` on that button if things in the mini-form are required / invalid?

On one hand, this feels semantically wrong? The button itself is just a trigger and can't really be "invalid" in anyway. On the other, since the actual invalid elements are in the popover or dialog, there's no other indication of this state (apart from manual descriptions).

Hits from my Tuesday morning inbox:

1. An unsupervised, LLM-generated, and hence completely useless set of recommendations about how to implement #accessible hovercards.

2. An email suggesting that accessible websites are ugly websites, and therefore we need some sort of cookie in everyone's browser describing what access technology they use so they can be directed into the appropriate "ghetto". This was sent to the #ARIA Authoring Practices mailing list for some reason.

Considering going back to bed.
