Comment (by juliemoynat):
If the link label is confusing, here, it's a problem for everyone, not
only people using a screen reader. Even if you read the link in its
context, there is no information to know the link allows you to modify
your profile (there's a heading "Leave a comment" before and then a
"Logout" link in the same paragraph + the required fields text, that's
all).
It's a UX problem trying to be solved through accessibility spectrum.
If the link label needs clarification, I think it should be for everyone
(or no one).
We could have {{{<a href="">Logged in as PSEUDO (Edit your profile)</a>}}}
without aria-label. Same label for everyone.
What do you think?
