Re: ISSUE-56 Re: Tree sample code

Yes, that's the idea. I suppose it could also use @title or the  
currently-being-discussed label property. Without labelledby, the AT  
attempted to calculate the name by reading the entire sub-tree. I did  
not use labelledby on the lowest level leaf nodes, because the subtree  
was adequate and using labelledby to point to itself seemed overly  
redundant.
