If we choose an object attribute would it be acceptable to document it

from
http://www.linuxfoundation.org/collaborate/workgroups/accessibility/iaccessible2/objectattributes
My concern is that not documenting it in the IA2 spec makes it look
non-standard or Gecko specific, which might make others wary of using it.
For an object attribute which name would you prefer: is-name-preferred
or is-name-preferred-over-text?
The former is shorter, but probably not very clear, so probably the latter.
Sorry to be painful, but in discussion with Mick the other day, we were
starting to wonder whether explicit-name is a better name for this after
all. With is-name-preferred, there is the question of "preferred by
what?" In contrast, explicit-name doesn't suggest any preference; it
just suggests that the author explicitly defined the name as opposed to
it being derived from something else.
If we choose to use a method, is there a preference for isNamePreferred
or isNamePreferredOverText?
The former makes sense if it's being added to IAccessible2. The latter
makes sense if it's being added to IAccessibleText.
