Re: label for, aria-label and aria-labelledby

Hi, Stefan. As far as I know there is no any plans to concatenate
names in Firefox. At least until ARIA name calculation algorithm
(http://www.w3.org/WAI/PF/aria-implementation/#mapping_special_te)
won't require this explicitly. As well aria-labelledby wins on <label
for="">. Why do you prefer concatenation? One possible disadvantage I
can see is performance issue.

Alex.
