but maybe the conflicting wpts were contributing to the reading that the spec was actually saying 'unless ... [so move on until the tooltip step in the algorithm]"

@scottaohara Agreed, and a note pointing to HTML-AAMs somewhere in this step is a good idea. Should the note be complementary to this step, or should accname pick up in HTML-AAM after this step?

me thinks this might be solved by however @MelSumner was planning to write that note for accName in general?

i'd welcome thoughts from @sideshowbarker though

@spectranaut I've updated the language here so ready for another review, thanks!
