are what was used as guidance in determining what the checker should warn a=
bout.

Note, in the later document, this general comment:

Neither of those documents list the hr element as being one that aria-label
should be used with.

So I think the problem you would run into with using aria-label with hr in
the way you=E2=80=99ve described is that you=E2=80=99ll end up finding out =
it=E2=80=99s not being
announced as expected by current AT software.
