accname-aam: step 2E, rule for button can cause infinite loop about accname HOT 2 OPEN

If I understand it correctly, 2E doesn't cause a infinite loop, but on the contrary: it is prevented:

<input value=1 id=1 aria-labelledby=2>
<input value=2 id=2 aria-labelledby=1>

Without the rules against infinite loop, a circular label without end would appear here. But with step B ("and the current node is not already part of an aria-labelledby traversal") and 2E it is clear that not the label of the input field serves as label of the other input field, but its value.

I think the issue can be closed.

How I understood this is that you are then computing the text alternative of the button without being in the context of a label of another element. So while I would agree that removing the special case is a good idea (simply because it removes a special case) I wouldn't agree that this causes an infinite loop.
