Related notes:

The Accname-aam provides definitions of the terms "nameFrom:author" and "nameFrom:contents" and there is an editor's note that there should be links back into the ARIA spec that lists the roles that support these two ways of providing a name.

Before the links can be made, the sections/lists have to exist in the spec.

Also, it would be useful to put the definitions of "nameFrom:author" and "nameFrom:contents" back into the ARIA spec, somewhere in section 5.2 "Characteristics of Roles":

Putting this out for another week. Ideally this will be script generated rather than done manually. And I've not had time to look into it yet.

Transferring to Shane.

(I kept meaning to get to it, but would presumably need to read jquery docs. Shane, on the other hand, won't need to do that. :) )

Reassigning back to me. Shane added the code we need: https://github.com/w3c/aria/commit/f9053500

I'll do a branch adding the lists.

Regarding putting the definitions back: Done.

It turns out the name-from-author list consists of all ARIA roles modulo presentation/none. Is a section for this really desired? See https://rawgit.com/w3c/aria/action-1723/aria/aria.html#namefromauthor

The name-from-content list is much more sane and can be seen here: https://rawgit.com/w3c/aria/action-1723/aria/aria.html#namefromcontent

Once we have agreement about what should or should not be in these sections, I'll make those changes.

Changing person to Joseph because he took this over.
