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**.
