Re: Name of Accessible (Not the Label Name)

[Bill Haneman <gnome billhaneman ie>]

Hi Udayan and Evan;

In the case you mention below, the assistive technology should check for 
the presence of the Accessibility_Text interface.  In most cases (i.e. 
other than text entry fields, for instance), the assistive technology 
should expose the contents of the Text interface to the end-user, not 
the 'name' property.  This would solve your problem/issue.

I agree that widget accessible-name properties should be end-user-usable 
as well.

regards

Bill
