Attached file test case (deleted) —
Step to reproduce: 1. View the attached test case in Accerciser. Expected results: The accessible name of each entry would be based on the associated label. Actual results: Only the second entry's accessible name is based on the associated label. If a content developer takes the time to properly label a form field for the purpose of making it accessible to users who are blind, it would be helpful if that information was passed along to the screen readers -- whether it happens to be visible or not. Thanks in advance!

BTW, if you're feeling especially kind and generous.... ;-) It would also be nice if we could still have the label exposed along with the associated LABEL_FOR/LABELLED_BY AtkRelationship pair. That the label is not actually visible could be communicated via AtkState.
