Item Number: ARIA7
Part of Item: Tests
Comment Type: technical
Summary of Issue: 
Comment (Including rationale for any proposed change):
While the aria-describedby (ARIA1) test procedure  actually describes how the attribute can be used to satisfy certain SC by providing additional contextual info, the test procedure 
for aria-labelledby (ARIA7) does not do this and only tests for correctness of id values. 
Current:
Check that each ID in the value of the aria-labelledby attribute matches an ID of a text 
element used as part of the link purpose.


Proposed Change:
Add: The Text referenced by the aria-labelled attribute adequately describes the link's 
purpose.
