Description Cynthia Shelly 2015-11-14 02:15:39 UTC 
HTML-AAM has several places where it says to “use X attribute if it was not used as the accessible name.” Making that determination is quite hard. I understand the reasoning for it, but it really does not go well with the text alternative computation. Answering the question “what attribute will map to the name of node X” is not trivial.
