Comment (by afercia):

 @SergeyBiryukov interesting, thanks! I'm afraid these existing labels
 wouldn't be appropriate though because:
 - we need a label also for comments
 - the word `list` suggests there's a list: that's true for the posts
 tables (where these labels are currently used) but in this navigation
 there's no list, there's just a navigation
 - more importantly: the labels should not contain the word `navigation`:
 that's already automatically announced by screen readers because of the
 `<nav>` element

 For example, in the case of comments, the ideal markup would be:

 {{{
 <nav class="navigation comment-navigation" role="navigation" aria-
 label="Comments">
         <h2 class="screen-reader-text">Comments navigation</h2>
         <div class="nav-links"> ... </div>
 </nav>'
 }}}

 Maybe we could try to use the object plural name, not sure if that's
 reliable enough to have a meaningful name for the navigation.
