Found in the wild:

```
<a href=""
role="button"
aria-controls="drawer-detail"
id="drawer-card-animal-kingdom-link"
aria-expanded="false"
aria-label="Read More - <strong>Disney’s Animal Kingdom Theme Park</strong>">
Read More
</a>
```

Yes, that is a `<strong>` element *stuffed* into an `aria-label`.

Tell me you never fired up a screen reader without… nevermind.

@aardrian is that even remotely valid html??? surely even commonly used frontend development tools would have highlighted that as invalid.
@r343l @aardrian I don't see why it would be invalid actually. The `<` has no special meaning inside an attribute value though, obviously.

@[email protected] Likely the brackets are drawn as character entities, but the browser has rendered them in the inspector (it does that). Since the content is generated by JS, I cannot see the raw source without listening to the data stream and meh. But if those were entities, then totally valid HTML. Just very problematic ARIA use and annoying UI.

@aardrian @r343l I mean, even without entity references it'd be valid: https://html.spec.whatwg.org/multipage/syntax.html#syntax-attribute-value

(plain wrong et al. of course, but valid)
