Consider the following limitations: audio -> no role, application embed -> no role, application, document, image object -> no role, application, document, image svg -> no role, application, document, presentation, image video -> no role, application 37925 1 hsivonen 2010-08-26 11:03:37 +0000 svg can be used to create just about any widget from primitive shapes and event handlers, so I'd expect svg to be able to take any role. 37926 2 mjs 2010-08-26 12:03:28 +0000 (In reply to comment #1) > svg can be used to create just about any widget from primitive shapes and event > handlers, so I'd expect svg to be able to take any role. Good point. And people do in fact use SVG to build arbitrary widgets. 37962 3 ian 2010-08-26 19:41:56 +0000 EDITOR'S RESPONSE: This is an Editor's Response to your comment.

Check-in comment: Provide more ARIA role mappings for embed,audio,video,iframe,object http://html5.org/tools/web-apps-tracker?from=5365&to=5366 38127 5 xn--mlform-iua 2010-08-28 16:06:09 +0000 Ian (and Maciej, too!): The bug was fixed incorrectly: There is no ARIA role "image". The correct role is "img". Relates to embed and object (and svg). 38140 6 mjs 2010-08-29 01:09:19 +0000 Mea culpa. Leif is correct that it should be "img". 38147 7 mjs 2010-08-29 01:26:46 +0000 I filed bug 10486 about the new issue about the spelling of "image" vs "img". Closing this bug. 43394 8 cooper 2010-12-15 14:45:27 +0000 Bug triage sub-team notes there is active discussion, and this appears to meet the threshold of being of interest to the HTML A11Y TF. Adding a11ytf keyword. Also considered question of whether roles of media elements affect processing of media. Adding the media keyword so the media sub-team can weigh in on this.
