The group is set up in WCAG space so you need to be a WCAG member to 
answer the survey. Unfortunately this seems to be the way with joint 
TFs. If you wish to join WCAG we can probably arrange that.

It is enough to give the link a name. The point is that the name chosen 
fails 2.4.4 as it does not include any context as to what you are 
downloading in a progamatically determinable manner.

The point of the user agent notes is to state that aria-label and 
aria-labelledby don't seem to be very well supported by user agents. 
This seems to be an AT bug rather than a browser bug though as the 
correct things seem to be exposed to the a11y APIs.
