This is a follow up of #2848507: Indicate that grouping elements have child element errors for ux and a11y and blocked by it.

Child elements in grouping elements like (meta) details and vertical tabs are invisible to the user when the grouping element is closed or not-focused respectively. And those items can't be tabbed to.

To improve accessibility we should announce when there are errors 'inside' and a toggle gets focus by tabbing.

I'd rather that we did this in #2848507: Indicate that grouping elements have child element errors for ux and a11y, instead of treating accessibility as a follow-up. The point of the accessibility gate is that we should be designing with accessibility in mind from the start, rather than considering it afterwards.

If we have to treat this as a follow-up, then I'd say it needs to be a must-have for #2504847: [meta] Roadmap for stabilizing Inline Form Errors module (IFE).
