clarifying name, role, value #2207
Conversation
closes w3c#2142 In an attempt to add clarity that it's not just that a name, role and value are exposed but the **correct** name role and value are exposed, I have simply added the word "accurate" to two sentences. This will help imply that it's not just "information" that needs to be exposed to AT, but "accurate information" about what the control represents. If more modifications are necessary here, please let me know and I can make those changes, or the editors can make changes as they see fit.
largely pulling in [Alastair's new paragraph suggestion](w3c#2142 (comment)), but I modified it a bit to try and use language similar to what ARIA and HTML use (e.g., what the control **represents** dictates its intended semantics and thus the important accessibility information that would be appropriate to convey). Also, noticed the use of the word "must" in a note in this informative document. so, changed that to "needs to" to keep the intent.

"correct" implies that there's a binary "right/wrong". "appropriate" allows for there to be a certain level of ambiguity, a sliding scale of appropriateness. the latter better matches reality |

@bruce-usab @alastc could this be added to the next survey, or for the 2.x sub-group to determine if it's good to merge? |
