I totally agree. The reason for pulling out was to handle name computation
that included host language features for both HTML and SVG. So I think it
should be something on the order of:

Core Accessible Name and Description Computation Module. This would cover
HTML and SVG. Also, given the fact that the SVG is becoming more aligned
with SVG this is more appropriate.

Core,
HTML
SVG
Core Accessible Name and Description Computation Module

I don't think the general concept of Name Computation is specifically tied
to ARIA, so I wouldn't name the document "ARIA Names"… The fact that it
references ARIA attributes like aria-label and aria-labelledby should be
sufficient to make it obvious that it's within the PF's charter.

If it hasn't been suggested already, what about "Accessible Name
Computation"?

            We are expected to be chartered to do "WAI-ARIA...1.1" and
            "WAI-ARIA...1.1 Implementation Guides". If we split a document
            out of that, I think it's pretty clear it still falls under
            those deliverables. So we should be good. We might need to be
            careful about how we title the document so it's clear it's part
            of the ARIA suite.

                  Hi, Rich: Responding to your question as per the Subject
                  above ... I am confident we are well within our authority
                  to break name computation, or any particular aspect of
                  the ARIA suite as circumstances require. Michael can
                  elaborate or correct, if needed. Also, it's arguably not
                  too late even to add such a document to our list of
                  deliverables inasmuch as our recharter is not yet
                  approved, though I don't know where that is exactly, in
                  the authorization process. At the moment we're still
                  operating under an extension of our 3-year old plus
                  charter. hth Janina
