Description James Craig 2017-01-29 17:54:05 PST 
Test case:
<a href="#" aria-label=" ">test</a>

VoiceOver says "link, space"

The name computation states that each step in the chain should trim whitespace, and move on to the next. In this case, aria-label yields a whitespace-only result, so it should be trimmed and eventually yield the element contents: "link, test"
