Responder Implementation dataComments
Wilco Fiers Yes Although it's worth noting that failed example 7 is only consistent in Alfa.
Charu Pandhi Yes
Kasper Isager Dalsgarð Yes
Kathy Eng I don't know. My questions or comments are documented below. Suggest adding an applicable example with tabindex=-1 to show that iframe is in accessibility tree and rule is applicable.

https://act-rules.github.io/implementation/axe-core#id-cae760 has an extra column of results (maybe from a different test?).

Failed Ex 3 and Inapp Ex 3 are untested for all implementors but Axe. Should we get these tested by them?
Mary Jo Mueller I don't know. My questions or comments are documented below. To Kathy's comments, I don't think it is necessary to have another example with tabindex=-1 as that is known to only remove an element from the tab order and doesn't remove its role or the requirement for an accessible name. I think the additional Axe results is because there are 2 rules in Axe covering different aspects of the test cases (Wilco, please verify). I think we only need one implementation for publication, but we should definitely ask for the missing results.
Jonathan Avila
Jey Nandakumar Yes
Trevor Bostic I don't know. My questions or comments are documented below. Should we remove passed example 4 to be consistent with removing :-) from accessible names.across all rules?

Kasper Isager Dalsgarð Yes
Kathy Eng Yes
Mary Jo Mueller Yes
Jonathan Avila No. I have opened an issue in GitHub or have documented my comments below. I have an open issue in github on whether iFrames with tabIndex -1 should really be exempt from the naming rule. While I agree they don't fit under SC 4.1.2 I believe it should fall under SC 1.3.1.
