ChromeVox should read the description

Project Member Reported by dmazz...@chromium.org, Jun 29 2017

Issue description

Every accessible object has both a name and description. The description can be set using aria-describedby, but it's also populated with "title" when another label is used for the name.

ChromeVox should read the description after a short pause, to match other screen readers. A common use-case is for tool-tips.

The Chrome browser toolbar all has tool tips, for example.

It *does* read the description in the general case. Could you be a little more specific to where you see this and preferably provide a snippet? The issue with the web is that description is often the *only* text for a node so it gets used as the name, so you can't use it as a paused hint.
thanks.
