<h4>Elements with implicit ARIA roles which prohibit naming</h4> -->
<p>
Authors MAY use <a data-cite="wai-aria-1.2/#aria-label">`aria-label`</a> and <a data-cite="wai-aria-1.2/#aria-labelledby">`aria-labelledby`</a> attributes to specify <a data-cite="accname-1.2/#dfn-accessible-name">accessible names</a> for elements which have an implicit or explicit ARIA role which allows naming from authors. [[[wai-aria-1.2]]] defines <a data-cite="wai-aria-1.2/#namefromprohibited">roles which cannot be named</a>.
</p>
<p>
Authors MUST NOT specify `aria-label` or `aria-labelledby` on elements that expose an ARIA role which cannot be named. Elements whose implicit ARIA roles prohibit naming from authors are identified in [[[#docconformance]]].
