Comment (by audrasjb):

 I believe the implementation shouldn't only focus on `arial-label` which
 is only one side of a general implementation of ARIA across the CMS.
 That's probably why this improvement is stale as of now. I suggest a
 different approach via a community plugin, and a more general approach
 than only focusing on `arial-label`.

 This is what the Performance team did with the Performance Lab plugin, and
 it proved to be successful to merge features into Core. Happy to discuss
 it when possible.

 **To be perfectly clear:** I don't think accessibility should be an option
 in a plugin (even a community plugin) as Matt often suggests. But I
 believe community plugins are a great way to test things, to demonstrate
 their feasibility and the robustness, **before eventually implementing
 them into core**.
