Subject: Re: [office] Important question from Accessibility SC
Nathaniel,
Good question!
In terms of "textual description" I am not sure that reuse of draw:name,
for example, would be appropriate. Those attributes already have
legitimate uses and "reuse" might step on some of those uses.
With that in mind, I think adding an attribute would be the best way to
handle this issue.
Hope you are having a great day!
