       <li>
         The semantic structure of the FAQ is conveyed with native <code>dl</code>, <code>dt</code> and <code>dd</code> elements.
-        So that the list structure is communicated to assistive technologies, instead of applying a button role to the <code>dt</code> element, a <code>button</code> element is contained within the <code>dd</code> element.
-        Similarly, the container for the answer content that is shown and hidden is inside of the <code>dd</code> element so the <code>dl</code> structure is complete even when the answers are all hidden.
+        To ensure  the list structure is communicated to assistive technologies, instead of applying a button role to the <code>dt</code> element, a <code>button</code> element is contained within the <code>dt</code> element.
+        Similarly, each <code>div</code> element  containing  answer content that can be shown or hidden by the button is a child of a <code>dd</code> element.
+        Since all the <code>dd</code> elements are present in the DOM even if some answers are hidden, the <code>dl</code> structure is always complete.
+      </li>
+      <li>
+        To help people with visual impairments identify the disclosure as interactive and make it easier to perceive that clicking either the disclosure button or its label changes the expanded state, when a pointer hovers over the button or its label, the background color changes, a border appears, and the cursor changes to a pointer.
       </li>
-      <li> The visual indication of expanded and collapsed states is synchronized with the value of <code>aria-expanded</code> using a CSS attribute selector and <code>:before</code> pseudo element that generates an image with the <code>content</code> property.</li>
-      <li>The interactivity of the question is visually indicated on focus and hover:
-        <ul>
-          <li>The CSS <code>:focus</code> pseudo class is used to change the background and border colors.</li>
-          <li>The CSS <code>:hover</code> pseudo class is used to change the background color and underline the text.</li>
-        </ul>
+      <li>
+        Because transparent borders are visible on some systems with operating system high contrast settings enabled, transparency cannot be used to create a visual difference between the element that is focused an other elements.
+        Instead of using transparency, the focused element has a thicker border and less padding.
+        When an element receives focus, its border changes from 0 to 2 pixels and padding is reduced by 2 pixels.
+        When an element loses focus, its border changes from 2 pixels to 0 and padding is increased by 2 pixels.
+      </li>
+      <li>
+        To ensure the inline SVG arrow graphics in the CSS have sufficient contrast with the background when high contrast settings invert colors, the color of the arrows are synchronized with the color of the text content.
+        For example, the color of the arrow is set to match the foreground color of high contrast mode text by specifying the CSS <code>currentColor</code> value for the <code>stroke</code> and <code>fill</code> properties of the <code>polygon</code> elements used to draw the arrows.
+        If specific colors were instead used to specify the <code>polygon</code> properties, those colors would remain the same in high contrast mode, which could lead to insufficient contrast between the arrows and the background or even make the arrows invisible if the color matched the high contrast mode background.<br>
+        Note: The SVG element needs to have the CSS <code>forced-color-adjust</code> property set to <code>auto</code> for the <code>currentColor</code> value to be updated in high contrast mode.
+        Some browsers do not use <code>auto</code> for the default value.
