Patrick Durusau commented on OFFICE-704:
----------------------------------------
Well, but if you look at the prior English text titles in ODF 1.0/1.1, you will find that they are not terribly informative or always accurate. That wasn't a defect of those versions but always the case when one tries to select a term in any language to represent a token from a formal language. Some of us will prefer one term over another or think that it is more accurate. By using the element and attribute names, the section titles become far more precise than is otherwise possible.
There has been no demonstration that assistive technologies cannot read element and attribute names. I assume that anyone working with markup, as markup, would have technologies that can read markup.
Use of element/attribute names simply saves the translators the trouble of trying to translate those parts of the standard.
