RE: Finalizing an Issue-204 CP

Oops.  That's supposed to be accessible name and accessible description.  Fixed.

On to the more substantive feedback...

Subject: Re: Finalizing an Issue-204 CP

Hmm in the "Details" section the proposed change has this sentence:
"At the time of this writing, some screen reader products will read both the accessible name and and accessible name, so authors should take care with the length of text provided via this method."

I'm sure there's something wrong with repeating "the accessible name"... ?

Cheers,
Silvia.
