Title attribute should be preferred over localized "submit" string for accessible name of input type="image"

Project Member Reported by joanmari...@gmail.com, Sep 26 
Steps to reproduce:
1. Open the attached test case.
2. Use an accessibility inspector to view the accessible name of the input element.

Expected results: The accessible name would be "email".

Actual results: The accessible name is "submit".

Notes:

1. Gecko and WebKit each expose "email" as the accessible name.

2. The HTML-AAM currently* states that exposing "submit" is a valid option. However, it's a "user agent may" (as opposed to a "should" or "must"). And it's immediately followed by "Otherwise use title attribute." Given the current language in the HTML-AAM, and the strong desire for interoperable implementations, I believe we should do what Gecko and WebKit currently do.

3. I find the language in the HTML-AAM problematic and something which should be fixed. I've filed that issue against the spec and suggested that title be preferred over "submit". https://github.com/w3c/html-aam/issues/150

Prefer title over "submit" for accessible name of image input

Preferring the title attribute over "submit" means that end users will
potentially get a more precise name for the widget. In addition, because
both Gecko and WebKit prefer the title attribute, making this change will
increase interoperability. Lastly, the HTML-AAM does state user agents can
use the title attribute; using "submit" is presented as an option. Note
that a bug has been filed against the HTML-AAM because such options seem
to decrease rather than increase the likelihood of interoperability.
