Yes, you're right that this would be enough; but I don't agree with
using 
the element's text content for the name here.  "target" attribute
semantics are probably a better choice.

The <accessibility> property case is really only needed when specifying
other properties that don't necessarily have associated widgets, such as
the table properties I described in the previous email.

So I think that except for table captions, we can omit support for
<accessibility> values for <atkproperty> in 2.0.

Yes, you're right here.  That wasn't the intent of 
specifying <accessibility> children here; it's only for the
edge case where a parent AtkObject is created which has no
backing widget (not a case we need to support yet).
