Accessibility-related HTML isn't whitelisted

[fstorr]

It would be very useful to allow accessibility-related HTML to be whitelisted. Specifically:

1. The <caption> element for tables
2. The aria-labelledby, aria-label, and aria-describedby attributes.

Allowing these will help improve the accessibility of documents to meet some of the WCAG 2.0 requirements around text-alternatives, information and relationships, and names, roles, and values.

Similar <figure> and <figcaption> would be helpful.

👍 Please also consider aria-hidden as allowed.

Of course! Sorry to see that this wasn't addressed earlier.

@gjtorikian Does that mean it will be addressed by you now or should I (non-ruby dev) create a PR for it ?

Never mind, just saw your PR ❤️

This is now out at 2.8.3.

@gjtorikian Thank you *so much! Your quick response to this is much appreciated.

No worries. I love accessibility.
