    This is a Call for Consensus (CfC) to the ARIA Working Group on the
    question of publishing First Public Working Drafts of AccName 1.2. The
    content to be published can be found at the
    https://rawgit.com/w3c/accname/FPWD_CANDIDATE_1/.

    
    Details
    -------
    The only substantive change thus far is modifying step 1 of the
    algorithm so that it now reads:
    
       Set the root node to the given element, the current node to the
       root node, and the total accumulated text to the empty string ("").
       If the root node's role prohibits naming, return the empty string
       ("").
    
    This change in and of itself has no implementation impact, but it allows
    other specifications to optionally prohibit naming for a top-level
    element. Furthermore, even if this prohibition is made within a
    specification, that prohibition will not have any impact on calculating
    name from contents. The reason for the addition to this statement is to
    make it possible for specifications to achieve results such as the
    following:
    
       <span aria-label="bar">foo</span>: The span has no name.
    
       <button><span aria-label="bar">foo</span></button>: The button's
       accessible name is "bar" (but the span itself has no name).
    
    But, again, doing the actual prohibiting will still need to be done
    elsewhere; not in AccName.
