Damyon Wiese 016bbe2c2c MDL-44116 Atto: Improve new accessibility sniffs.
Check for empty text it row, column headers and captions on tables.
Link to "Entire document" text instead of repeating the entire document if the text is long and has no headings.

Damyon Wiese 26f8822d5c MDL-43867 Atto: Accessibility improvements.
1/ Set the aria-labelledby attribute on the contenteditable div (find the label from
original textarea)

2/ Store/restore the selection for the contenteditable div when it is focused. This allows
you to select some text, then go to the toolbar and click a button, and the selection
will be restored before the button effect is applied.

3/ Add an accessibility helper plugin.

From testing in all screenreaders, I found that all of their support for contenteditable is not great.
They treat it like a textbox - which means you can type and edit text, but it tells you nothing about
the styles, links or images in the editor. So I added a button to the toolbar, that is only accessible
when navigating via keyboard, that opens an accesssibility helper dialogue. The dialogue shows the list
of current styles, a global list of all links, and a global list of all images. Choosing an image or link
from here, will focus on the editable region, and select the link/image.

4/ Add an accessibility checker plugin to Atto.

Checks for images with no alt, images and links with filenames as alternate text/link text, and contrast ratios
less than WCAG 2.0 AA.
