Hi, Steve and all. Yes, I know the technique, but I still on't understand well why the title is valid to calculate the accessible name in the case of form controls, but it is not valid to calculate the accessible name in the case of images. Why is it a "last resort" for images but a "sufficient technique" for form controls? This makes me think that this is not a consistent behaviour for an attribute. If @title is not intended to convey the accessible name, it should work the same for any element, maybe as a "last resort", but not as a recommended technique. There are other techniques that work without relying on this "last resort" option, so why should we recommend this? Regards, Ramón.
