empty aria-describedby

Joanie and Amelia,

Please look at the test cases in this section Empty aria-describedby
testable statements. I copied what was the last test, which Joanie proposed
had a problem and I created the last two tests from it.  The issue Joanie
raised was if you have an empty aria-describedby with nothing else to
qualify the element's inclusion in the accessibility tree, wouldn't that
element not be in the accessibility tree?  The last test has been changed
to say that a element with only the aria-describedby qualifying it for
inclusion in the accessibility tree would not be in the accessibility tree
if the aria-describedby is empty. The second to last test has an element
that will be in the accessibility tree regardless of description. This will
be a topic on the Tuesday SVG accessibility call, but I wanted to get
feedback, before I copy stuff around that will be nuked or need chasing
down editing later.

Also, Amelia I am at a loss as what to do with the task find ambiguous
stuff in the SVG spec.  Since you can do brain dead stuff like put action
listeners on linear gradients it seems like finding ambiguous stuff in SVG
is attacking the spec problem with a pea shooter when you still need to
using hand grenades.

                                                              
     Regards,
