Description Dylan Barrell 2015-03-07 16:31:28 UTC 
The RDF document describes nameFrom as

<rdfs:comment>How a role type name is extracted and referenced inside a document. Values are "author": name comes from values provided by the author in explict markup features; and "subtree": name comes from the text value of the element node.</rdfs:comment>

and gives the valid values of "author" and "subtree", the spec only ever references nameFrom:contents and only does this once here http://www.w3.org/TR/wai-aria-1.1/#aria-relevant-property

Seems like the RDF is a bit out of sync with the spec
Comment 1 Dylan Barrell 2015-03-07 16:37:38 UTC 
Correction: author is used in the spec itself but the RDF comment should be updated to represent the fact that the two valid values are "author" and "contents" and not "author" and "subtree"
