Has this been reviewed by T&L?

Just a note: I had a typo in one of the messages in the screenshots - I updated the table in the description with it fixed, though.

If we can get some more eyes on the text changes it would be ideal so that we don't have to change them again.
BTW they look positive!

@Chris Knapp there are a couple warning messages to students when their work may have failed to save in a quiz (one due to multiple browser tabs being open to different timed assessments, and another due to internet connection cutting off and autosave attempting to run). Are these two messages read automatically to screen reader users, or do the messages need to have the alert role added to them?

Some new warning messages to students taking assessments have been added in Sakai 20 in cases where their work may have failed to save. The current messages are a bit confusing. I think they can be made easier to read and clearer with better/more accessible formatting and language.
Heading level 5 has been added to the alerts per accessibility best practice mentioned here: https://www.w3.org/WAI/tutorials/forms/notifications/#listing-errors
