For <article> and <aside> the text content is not used for the link label. This is so with Chrome, Firefox and AccName Prototype test. I wonder: why? Where is this in the specification? The elements have "Name from author", but they do not need a label. In this case the text content should be used as label of parent elements, right? Also a list has "Name from author", but here the text content is used as label.
Even if the list is explicitly labeled with aria-label, the screen reader outputs its text content as link label, although the browser only send the aria-label to the Accessibility API as link label.
And does it make sense? According to the HTML specification, a link may contain these elements. The problem now is that not only the links have no labels, but the entire text content is not perceptible even when read linearly with a screen reader.
