I read that guide, but it's not correct. In the section on "If an icon represents an interactive element", it relies on the Title attribute to provide an accessible alternative name for the element. In my testing, the screen reader just says "link" and does not read the Title when: using JAWS and the "H" key; or having NVDA or JAWS list the elements; or when on a Mac using VoiceOver.
