Probably no need for "in the form of a string."

This is incorrect. I'd just remove the sentence.

Here's my draft two based on Rich's original:
The accessible description provides help information about an interface element or about how it is used. The value of the accessible description may be derived from a reference to visible or invisible content within a web page, or the accessible description may be defined by host language features, such as the <desc> element in SVG.
