Interesting, because for my apps, I implement all those validations. The form wide validation are done on server. Basically I have a bunch of layers of validation that leverages everything. Chrome having a shoddy unaccessible design is Chrome problem, I would file a bug report.

This one? https://html.spec.whatwg.org/multipage/dom.html#concept-elem...

I don't see anything that defines how validation messages should be presented (not even that they should be present)
