using label element for associating extra descriptive text
example 1 single label wraps primary label text and auxiliary label text results
in accessible name for the control being the a concatenation of the primary and auxiliary label text.
conforming:
<label>name <input type"text"> last name only please</label>
example 2 primary label = accessible name, auxiliary label = accessible description
conforming:
<p><label>name <input type"text" aria-describedby="instructions"></label></p>

using this http://tutorials.jenkov.com/svg/switch-element.html working switch example the following exposes the title or desc as the acc name.
<svg height="50" width="500" role="img" aria-labelledby="alt">
<switch>
<g systemLanguage="en-UK">
<text y="20" x="10">UK English</text>
</g>
<g systemLanguage="en">
<text y="20" x="10">English</text>

regrets

I spend a fair amount of time contributing to Mozilla and other browser vendors and (hopefully) improving HTML accessibility implementations in browsers by filing bugs, working on the HTML spec at the W3C, discussing issues with browser acc engineers etc. As part of this work I recently developed tests and tested the interoperability of HTML5 accessibility implementation requirements in all of the major browsers (Firefox, Chrome, IE and Safari). This was a time consuming and arduous task i undertook in my own time, because I want accessibility implementations to work in browsers. It is with regret that I read the decision makers at Mozilla see the work myself and many others do at the W3C as having little value to Mozilla.

NOTE: I have not said ‪#‎Mozilla‬ don't care about accessibility, but questioned the simplistic narrative of HTML at the W3C = ALL BAD and HTML

The Specials - Stereotype [lyrics]
He's just a stereotype
He drinks his age in pints
He has girls every night
He doesn't really exist
He spends his weekends with [Incomprehensible] floats
He forgets the punchline when he tells a joke
He wants to stay out, he don't want to go home
Till his big hurting fingers are stuck down his throat

PIL - this is not a love song
This is not a love song
Happy to have not to have not
Big business is very wise
I'm crossing over into enterprise
This is not a love song
This is not a love song
This is not a love song

"Kicks" - lou reed
Hey man, what's your style
How you get your kicks for living
Hey man, what's your style
How you get your adrenalin flowing now
How you get your adrenalin flowing
Hey man, what's your style
I love the way, try to call now
Hey man, what's your style

Pil - Rise [lyrics]
I could be wrong, I could be right
I could be wrong
I could be wrong, I could be right
I could be black, I could be white
I could be right, I could be wrong
I could be white, I could be black
