Related notes:
From the Michael Cooper's survey comments at the 19 July WCAG WG meeting:
The term "title attribute" risks being confounded by the reader with the HTML title attribute. Is there another term that would work, like "title property" or "page title" or something?
Same with description and name attribute - less likely to be confounded, but still an issue. It's a synonym for "attribute" that doesn't evoke markup-specific meaning I'd like to find. If "attribute" is also the correct term in accessibility APIs etc. then I think we need a clarification sentence about that, noting that it's used here in the AAPI sense, not the markup sense.
See proposal #6 with suggested changes, which are still pending Michael Cooper's review...

Andi - please survey the new text (proposal #6) for Friday 3Aug12
