Comment:

 What this primarily needs at this point is a scrub of core to identify
 whether there are still uses of `::before` and `::after` pseudo elements
 that aren't marked with `aria-hidden`. Actually establishing a standard
 practice is something that, in my opinion, is already done; we have a
 fairly standard operating practice in newer code of using `aria-hidden` to
 ensure that hidden things are actually hidden.
