accname-aam need to clarify aria-owns in Step 2F (github issue #538)

Hey Dominic (and Alex):

When you get a chance, could you please look at this issue:
https://github.com/w3c/aria/issues/538

My understanding from today's meeting, and from Joseph Scheuhammer, is
that the intended meaning of "child node" in Step 2F is "DOM child
node." The spec just fails to make that explicit. Firefox is using that
interpretation, but Chrome is not. And since you were the one to make
the change in Chrome [1], we wanted to get your insight and opinion.

If you feel that the DOM-child-only interpretation is reasonable, we'd
like to make that change to the AccName AAM 1.1 spec prior to our
transitioning it to CR. On the other hand, if you feel like your
implementation is the right way to go, we need to discuss it and reach
consensus.

Thanks in advance for your time.
