Hm, there is a AXDescriptionList object that I could find. Do you mean

String AccessibilityNodeObject::accessibilityDescription() const

?

This one is currently using the title element instead of the desc element. This probably should not be the case.

The title attribute is more similar to the title attribute on <a> link tag I assume. Should it be relinked?
