My understanding was that the draw:name attribute
was more intended as an identifier, for programmatic access, etc. The
ODF specification requires that draw:name be unique, for example, and that
is not something that I think we would want to be a restriction on accessibility
hint text.
If we want both (similar to HTML's alt and longdesc)then
we could use SVG's svg:title and svg:desc which are intended to be not
rendered in visual media, but made available to other user agents, viz.
