           Summary: AX: [ATK] Use WebCore Accessibility's
                    AccessibilityText for AtkObject name and description

WebKitGtk never switched fully over to use AccessibilityText for AtkObject name and description. As a result, we have code we don't need and which is in some cases incorrect with respect to the HTML AAM and/or AccName spec.

In addition, there are a number of places where we're taking the AXDescription as the AtkObject description. This would seem logical on the surface, but as outlined in the OR of bug 157187, it's wrong.

I'm making this bug a blocker to bug 157187 so we can fix the exposure and update the layout tests in a way that will hopefully be clear (enough) to verify the code change is not introducing any regressions. After that, we can (I will) come up with a proposal with respect to how we do cross-platform text alternative calculation layout tests.

Patch will be forthcoming.
