Rationale: this is not *always* a failure. User agent/screen reader support has improved considerably since the technique was first devised, with most (all?) combinations now happily reading/announcing CSS-generated content. Supersedes #2800 (which was having too many merge conflicts due to its age) Closes #1554, closes #3781

There was a problem hiding this comment.
Did some followup discussion with other Deque folks and we're on board with removing the failure technique. We acknowledge that :before/:after content involves some usability issues:
- Can't Ctrl+F for it
- Can't select/copy/paste it
- Doesn't show up in some "Reader Mode" UIs (eg, Safari's)
...but we agree with points made during today's TF meetings that even though these may create usability issues, these probably don't constitute 1.3.1 failures (other acceptable 1.3.1 techniques have similar usability limitations).
I think it might be nice to add an understanding doc note or advisory technique or something that warns about the potential for usability issues, but I don't think that blocks this PR.
