           Summary: [Gtk] Elements with a title attribute should not be
                    ignored
           Product: WebKit
           Version: 528+ (Nightly build)
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: Accessibility
        AssignedTo: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org
        ReportedBy: joanmarie.diggs at gmail.com


Currently we ignore any element which does not itself contain content. Thus
given:

  <div class="note" title="Note">
    <div class="inner">
      <div class="contents">
        <p class="p">Note contents</p>
      </div>
    </div>
  </div>

We'd expose:

  -> Document Frame
     -> Paragraph (text: Note contents)

If the content provider has specified a title attribute, we should include that
element in the hierarchy. When we do so, the title attribute should
automatically become exposed as the accessible description, i.e.:

  -> Document Frame
     -> Section (description: Note)
       -> Paragraph (text: Note contents)
