Accessible Name and Description Computation (Accname) 1.1 is a W3C Recommendation

Accessible Name and Description Computation (Accname) 1.1 is a W3C 
Recommendation:
   https://www.w3.org/TR/accname-1.1/

Accname describes how user agents determine the names and descriptions 
of accessible objects from web content languages. The name is a simple 
label for the object, and the description provides additional 
information. These are both standard features of accessibility APIs, 
which allow assistive technologies to identify these objects and present 
their names or descriptions to users. Documenting the algorithm through 
which names and descriptions are to be determined promotes interoperable 
exposure of these properties among different accessibility APIs and 
helps to ensure that this information appears in a manner consistent 
with author intent. Separate accessibility API mapping (AAM) 
specifications define the actual way these features are exposed to 
accessibility APIs; Accname just describes how the name and description 
are computed using a variety of content features that may be present at 
the same time.

The ARIA Working Group has a set of issues for future versions of 
Accname in https://github.com/w3c/accname/milestone/2. Work on this will 
depend on implementer and user interest in refining the algorithm. 
Please provide feedback by filing an issue in the W3C accname GitHub 
repository (https://github.com/w3c/accname/). If this is not feasible, 
send email to public-aria@w3.org.
