I tripped up on the aria-describedby...however, "title" does form part 
of the accessible name calculation.

For instance, for input, the UA does the following to determine the 
accessible name (note point 5):

1. Use aria-labelledby
2. Otherwise use aria-label
3. Otherwise use the associated label element
4. Otherwise use the placeholder attribute
5. Otherwise use the title attribute
6. If none of the above yield a usable text string there is no 
accessible name
