4.1.3 — Status Messages
Level AA Robust
Operational summary
IF markup presents a qualifying status update without a context change, expose its status semantics so assistive technology can present it without moving focus. Not every DOM update belongs in an assertive live region.
This is an original implementation summary, not replacement normative text. The sources below supply the precise requirement, its definitions and its qualifications.

Registry record
Applicability and assessment start unset by design — no product has been evaluated. Instantiate the entry for an actual product, assign an owner and retain evidence.
