The full name is the "The macOS Accessibility Protocol" or "AX API" for short. I don't recall this even being shortened to just "AX", and in either case, the NSAccessibility link is just one subset portion. This might be the best link in general. https://developer.apple.com/documentation/accessibility Should this be changed elsewhere in HTML-AAM too? Happy to discuss offline since this may be OT for this PR.

From what I can see looking back to some of the original PRs, this spec has always referred to it as just "AX". i notice though that it is not referred to consistently across AAMs

in the accessibility api sections, HTML AAM refers to it as macOS Accessibility Protocol [AXAPI].

in other many other specs that list out the full name (often in api / important term sections), it's referred to by it's older name - The Mac OS X Accessibility Protocol [AXAPI] - if it's even directly mentioned at all.

in the mapping tables, it's handled like:
dpub AAM - Mac AX API
html aam - AX
core aam, mathml aam - AX API
graphics aam - AXAPI

i have another issue this can be addressed with, at least for html aam

@scottaohara Would you like me to do raise a separate issue/PR for updating this throughout html-aam?

The `switch` attribute modifies the semantics and behavior of the `input` element in the checkbox state. See <a href="#el-input-checkbox-switch">`input type=checkbox switch`</a> for
mapping details.
