The tool reports that the list of project icons in the footer does not have an appropriate container. This is not true: the icons are contained in a ul.

The complaint about the ladda search button has legs: the same id is applied to two nested elements the button and the span within it.

Update: the reason for the reported lack of container for the sister project icons is the role="navigation" on the ul which stops it functioning as a list container. This is being addressed.

The complaint about the repeated id on the ladda search button still holds, probably. In any case, I very much doubt that the information conveyed visually by the spinning is accessible to a screen reader user.

A reminder that automated testing of accessibility finds only 30% of issues. I do not know about the other categories.
