Re: AXTitleUIElement (was Re: Test Assertions with Tables)

Hi Joanie,

So, I am looking at this and AXTitleUIElement in http://rawgit.com/w3c/aria/master/accname-aam/accname-aam.html <http://rawgit.com/w3c/aria/master/accname-aam/accname-aam.html> an inadequate mapping for the following:

1. It only works if you have one ID. 
2. It maps differently if you have 2 IDs by stuffing a concatenated strip into AXDescription. 

Regarding, general label relationships, I don’t value in exposing the relationship for labels in the API mappings unless you have a situation where the label has an embedded link that you MIGHT need to go to. 

So, I don’t see value in mapping label relationships unlike descriptions where the content may need to be navigated. If people have not seed use cases in the wild where labels point to something else (embedded link) then we don’t need the partial mapping for Mac and I don’t see a critical need to follow a relationship on any platform for labels.
