Step to reproduce:
- Open a message in gmail and examine the accessible name of the associated object with the listitem role using Firefox's accessibility inspector.
Expected results: The header info (e.g. sender and recipient) would be included in the listitem name along with the body of the message.
Actual results: The header info (e.g. sender and recipient) are absent from the listitem role; on the message body is used as the name:
app='Firefox'
name='This is a test. Tests are neat! Reply Forward'
role='list item'
Compare with Chromium which includes the information:
app='Chromium'
name='Joanmarie Diggsjoanmarie.diggs@gmail.com 3:16 PM (0 minutes ago) Not starred Reply More to me Show details This is a test. Tests are neat! Reply Forward'
role='list item'
Impact: When Orca users press "n" (the Gmail-provided command to move to the next message in a thread), Orca doesn't present the header information; just the message body. Orca users see this as a bug. However, Orca is doing the right thing in Chromium because the header info is included in the name.
Notes: I don't see anything else (e.g. an accessible relation) connecting the list item with the header info in the accessibility tree; it's just a descendant.

The tbody in the header table gets a role of grouping because it has display: block. We don't allow name from subtree for grouping, even when calculating the name for some other accessible (in this case, the list item). We need to set eNameFromSubtreeIfReqRule for grouping. I don't think that should break anything...
Note that this change would also fix this:
data:text/html,<div id="g" role="group">label</div><button aria-labelledby="g">
Right now, the button gets no name.
