During our last TF meeting, we agreed to update the examples by using aria-labelledby to reference the h2 titled "You are here".

Honestly, I think this creates an unrealistic scenario, since breadcrumbs typically aren't visually labeled. The APG group, in fact, provides an example that uses aria-label instead: APG Breadcrumb Example.

In my opinion, since this PR is addressing a different problem, we should open a separate issue to discuss this. Anyway, I believe the best approach would be to remove the visible label and follow the APG pattern.

agree with @giacomo-petri here. let's keep this PR tightly focused on just some extra advice, and revisit the fundamental technique in general separately
