Alastair, Basically any element whose name is exposed to AT will be covered. But as the first email stated, while other SCs (1.1.1, 2.4.4, 2.4.6) cover image buttons, links, form labels and the like some elements are not covered by any SC. Those that are already covered by an existing SC will automatically meet this SC too. An ARIA landmark does not always need a name- the role: role=main or role=navigation is sufficient. If an element is named and is not covered by any other SC this one will catch it. BTW this can support technique ARIA11.

Level AA That sounds good for the case of specific elements that need it (e.g. nav with aria-label), but might need tightening up to exclude other elements. I seem to have broken my accessibility inspector at the moment, but Isn’t an element name exposed for many elements? It implies that you’d have to name pretty much everything, which probably isn’t what you intended? Cheers, -Alastair
