Description Jason Kiss 2012-09-29 00:26:39 UTC 
The preferred AX mapping for aria-labelledby is currently listed as AXTitle, and for aria-describedby it is AXDescription [1].

Actual mappings in Safari/Webkit are now AXDescription for aria-labelledby [2] and AXHelp for aria-describedby [3].

If these are the preferred mappings now, it is suggested that the table at [1] be updated to reflect this.
