Re: [office-accessibility] Q: Alternative text for drawing objects

[Richard Schwerdtfeger <schwer@us.ibm.com>]

Hi Malte,

The TC deemed that the use of draw:name
has already been determined in that it really is a unique id (like an xml
id) vs. alternative text. 

Title is a short name that is mapped
to the accessibleName propertery and the title is mapped to the accessibleDescription
as a long description. So, we have a complete accessibility API mapping.
Yes, the title should be unique but not for the same reasons.

Cheers,

Rich

Mmmh, nobody remembers?

I need that answer, because people want to start implementation, but ask
for the difference.

I am talking about the recommendation "Alternative text for non-text
objects", where we recommended to add <svg:title> and <svg:desc>,
while 
already having <draw:name>.

What's the difference between name and title?

Is it because of a draw name must be unique, while title == accessible
name doesn't have to be unique?

Thanks,
Malte.
