--- Comment #8 from V Stuart Foote <vstuart.foote at utsa.edu> ---
Per our HIG--all controls should be provided via menu actions.

Through 5.2 the Menu rework has the Description object dialog for "Description
& Title" and the Name object dialog for "Name" positioned:

for Writer on the Format menu,
for Impress on the Format menu,
for Draw on the Modify menu, and
for Calc it is not provided on menu, either Format or Format -> Object. 

For Calc it remains only on the Context menu for the object (where the control
had been for the other modules (except Draw's Modify menu). Handling in Calc
will need to be corrected.

And except for Calc, the context menu entry for both has been removed.
Otherwise from 5.2 the addition of context menu customization allows user to
add it Image or Object.

So more work needed to handle some of the UI inconsistencies of these dialogs.

Only question here becomes should the Name and Description actions be present
on context menu by default.

Aside from preparing tagged content for a11y use, given our desire to improve
Navigator function--facilitating Name, Title and Description for each object by
providing context menu access seems desirable in the general case.

Not sure there is any advantage to adding context menu entries back for a 5.1.6
release--but it should be benign if done this late in the branch.

@Maxim, Adolfo?
