Re: (WCAG 2.1) Do we want to replace ​"programmatically determined link context" in 2.4.4 with "Accessible Name"?

I have to agree with John’s:

The concept of “programmatically determined” is necessarily wider than “Accessible name”. The examples of links in the context of a structure (under headings, under table headings) is still important.



I’d be happy supplementing the current docs with description of accessible name and examples of its use, but I don’t think it can replace it.
