When a <span role="wairole:link">Link content</span> gets focused, a screen reader needs to speak the link content. Therefore the name of the link should reflect the children.
Comment on attachment 255946 [details] [diff] [review] Table entry change for link Looks good. Nice small fix. Should the wiki also mention the labelledby case of eNameOkFromChildren?

Probably. Right now it just mentions that labelledby is a universal property. If you can think of a nicer, cleaner way to specify all that it'd be great. There are really just two cases for how name can be calculated: 1) Descendents can create the name 2) They can't In both cases, labelledby and title are alternative ways to create the name. If I'm honest about it, I don't even remember which takes precedence. Probably labelledby, then title, then the children? The wiki should say that.
