Description
Accessibility primitive: get element(s) by accessibility label.
In the F2F today, Simon Pieters and Val Young presented a case for tying more WebDriver tests to Accessibility underpinnings. The strongest idea I heard was a need for an element getter that would allow an author to select an element by its accessible label. It's possible the label portion of #1439 will be a prerequisite.

No files, tests, or implementation entry points are named. Start by reading the WebDriver specification context and the label portion of issue #1439, then review the accessibility rationale from the referenced F2F discussion. Done would require a settled proposal for selecting elements by accessible label, including its scope and validation approach.
