Accessible Name and Description Computation is a Candidate Recommendation

Subject: Accessible Name and Description Computation is a Candidate 
Recommendation

The Accessible Rich Internet Applications Working Group has published 
Accessible Name and Description Computation as a Candidate 
Recommendation at:

https://www.w3.org/TR/accname-1.1/

Accessible Name and Description Computation describes how user agents 
determine the names and descriptions of accessible objects from web 
content languages. Documenting the algorithm through which names and 
descriptions are to be determined promotes interoperable exposure of 
these properties among different accessibility APIs and helps to ensure 
that this information appears in a manner consistent with author intent.

The draft implementation report shows implementations documented so far:

Please provide feedback by 17 July 2018. To comment, file an issue at 
https://github.com/w3c/accname/issues/. If this is not feasible, send 
email to public-aria@w3.org.
