Ah, yes, I see it in Xcode, where it refers to the AXStaticText object

serves as the title in a window's title bar.
Will this be limited to windows, or can other objects have titles in

way?
In Cocoa you can currently run into this attr in a few places (windows,
form cells, tool bar items, and boxes).
As I said before, this will change in that you can expect to be running
into them more often. We're finding that attributes like this help an
assistive app "understand" the structure of widgets.
We're looking into promoting a couple of other, similar, structural
attributes.
I say "promoting" because in most cases we don't have enough info to
hook them up in the framework - only the app's developer can do it.
And, as I mentioned before, we're looking into a way to make it easier
to do this. I.e. We know that creating a custom subclass to add an
attribute (as you have to do today in Cocoa) discourages developers
from doing it.
