    initial v1  
    33I looked into the materials you provided and also researched `aria-errormessage`.

    5 It does seem that providing error messages through a`ria-errormessage`, instead of including both the error message and help text in `aria-describedby`, offers more advantages.

    66However, the problem lies in the support coverage of `aria-errormessage`.

    88It appears that `aria-errormessage` is not yet supported by macOS VoiceOver and TalkBack.
    9 While it is supported by screen readers with higher market share( NVDA, JAWS, and iOS VoiceOver..), I wasn’t able to confidently triage this issue because of that limitation.

    1111If we switch to using `aria-errormessage`, devices that don’t support it won’t read out the error message at all, which could actually make the experience worse than before.
