How do I describe a button that only says '...' ? Eg, in the Keyboard prefs, Layouts tab.
Probably "Browse" or "Open" depending on the context. It would be interesting to know what the accessible description of those buttons are, as that's what will be read out by a screenreader. (If they don't have a proper one, that's a bug.)
Ccing to the usability list -- does the HIG say anything about this? Should it?
Yes, it should probably say "don't have buttons without proper labels on them" :)
