Hi Rich,
Yes, I just re-read your email, and realised what you were saying.
Sorry about that.
However, using an element in this way sounds just like the plain text
equivalent of @role, which therefore means it would probably have
wider applicability than just <action>. I wonder if we should look at
trying to generalise this.
Any thoughts on that?
Regards,
Mark

Hi Mark,
Not the same. purpose is just the description. When providing the
information to an assistive technology we can enumerate the named
actions.

Hi Rich,
Are you sure it wasn't consciously dropped in favour of @role? It's
the kind of thing we'd do. :)

Mark
