Re: [whatwg/encoding] Meta: Use "set up" for TransformStreams rather than "create" (#260)

> @sideshowbarker Changing the `aria-label` attributes to `title` would make the checker work, but I'm not sure whether that'd be fine accessibility-wise.

Per a strict reading of the current wording of the implementation requirements at https://w3c.github.io/html-aam/#other-tabular-data-elements, I believe it would not be wrong accessibility-wise to change the `aria-label` attributes to `title`. However, it seems like that current wording in the AAM spec may not actually makes much sense and may instead be a spec bug. I mean, why would it make sense to make use of any `title` attribute on the `td`/`th`/`tr`, but not make use of any `aria-lable` attribute?

So I raised https://github.com/w3c/html-aam/issues/335 to get clarification.

If a change does end up getting made to the AAM spec, then I guess it would be appropriate for me to change the checker back to allowing `aria-label` on `td`/`th`/`tr` without warning. I say *“I guess”* because https://html5accessibility.com/stuff/2020/11/07/not-so-short-note-on-aria-label-usage-big-table-edition/ says that `td`/`th`/`tr` for “aria-label use not well supported” in UAs/AT. So I take that to mean those `aria-label` attributes would in practice not actually get exposed as accessible names in practice in current UAs/AT. And I suspect that `title` wouldn’t either. So I really don’t know what’s best to do here…
