Talking about how you either need to open the item to find the delete link
inside or you can click the `+Add Items` button to access the quick-delete
icons, @afercia says:
> Ideally the `+ Add Items` button text should describe the set of actions
made available when you press it. I understand that visually this is a
minor issue since sighted users can actually see the red X. Also, I
understand the troubles screen reader users will face: if they look for
something to delete menu items, it's very unlikely they will activate a
button that says "Add Items". We should try to find a good balance between
visual and semantics, where the latter is not just "abstract semantics"
but real information as used by software and consequently by people using
that software. It's always about people :)
>
> If you're OK with "Add Items" for the visual part, I'd be happy to use a
more descriptive `aria-label` attribute on the button: `aria-label="Add or
remove menu items"`.
