The accessible label of link elements (content, aria-label, title) is not included in the composed label indicated by aria-labelledby. I've put together a codepen that can be opened in Chrome (correct behavior) and Safari (aberrant behavior). http://codepen.io/jessebeach/pen/xwZQRp Chrome produces: "Catelyn Stark, Ned Stark, Arya Stark with Jon Snow and Bran Stark Some content group" Safari produces: ", Ned Stark , with and Some content group" The missing words are content from link elements. This produces a bad experience when, for example, the title of a post, which contains a link, is used as the label for an article or story item.
