Re: ACTION-1497 - Proposal for accessible description glossary definition

Michael, 

Any idea why this email isn't associated with the action? Seems like ACTION-1497 in the subject line should have been enough but it's not there. The list bots may be down.

Each platform accessibility API provides an accessible description property. The value of the accessible description may be derived from a reference to content within a web page (visible or invisible) that is converted to a string. In some host languages the reference to the accessible description may be implied such as through the use of the <desc> element in SVG.
