 * Hi, Ron — I see you added ARIA labels to the most recent update of Frontier, 
   which is great, thanks!
 * I was troubleshooting a different validation error today, involving the search
   box getting multiple labels, and [the developer of WP Accessibility pointed out a problem](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/multiple-labeling-for-search-field/):
   In the Frontier style sheet, lines 146–147, there’s a new class called `.screen-
   reader-text` whose style is set to `display: none;`. I assume the goal is to 
   have the label display only to screen readers, not to human users, but Joe observed
   that this will actually hide the label text completely.
 * I’m not sure the best way to do that (perhaps the WCAG standards have some suggestions
   on this point), but it probably needs to be adjusted for the next release.
 * Thanks a lot!
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fscreen-reader-text-hidden%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_
