Re: CFC - Changing Accessible Name in Change of Content

I would accept it with one amendment

"For active user interface components with labels that include text <add>or
images of text</add>, the name includes the text of the label."

The new wording dropped "visible label", and sometimes a visible label is
an image, want to ensure this doesn't pass.  <img src="go.jpg"><input
aria-label="search" ...>

Cheers,
David MacDonald
