I see a general pattern emerging from this discussion: certain roles
are text containers, for which the spec might state that an accessible
name is required and allow name-from-contents. In some cases, the
container could hold a potentially large amount of text, and a name
based on the content will be long and practically useless.
Likely, we should review all "text container" roles for this pattern and
evaluate the situation for each -- what I'm saying is that this problem
may be more than just listitem and link roles.
