@SteveFaulkner @jcsteh per the thread over on bluesky - definitely been brought up in the past (2022).
for column headers, i had been working on a proposal for a different solution to this issue. i don't think aria-label/aria-labelledby is the right thing to do here, per what jamie was alluding to...
i made some updates to my blog post about the figure and figcaption elements.

maybe give it a read - especially if you think you need to use figures to wrap any old image you add to your web page (psst... you don't)
my statement applies to so many things.
put it on a shirt. free for all to use / relate to.
@bkardell it's a complicated pattern, and is often in the fucked state.
that'd be the longer - but still short - description i'd have given if i weren't going for the LOLs.
if you point out a typo to scott, he's going to want to fix it.
but when he fixes it, he's going to re-read what he wrote.
when he re-reads what he wrote, he's going to want to make it better.
when scott makes it "better" he adds ridiculous examples & metaphors.

For instance:
"You don’t need to do <button tabindex=0>. If you feel like I was speaking directly to you with that example, then I was."
cut it out, [ insert your name here ].
