    <thetext>There is no information on how SVG content is to be handled by or conveyed to AT.

The following should be present in some form:
What the default ARIA role is for svg; 
Whether setting its role to &quot;application&quot; will offer access to the SVG DOM directly; 
Whether setting its role to something other than &quot;application&quot; would hide any accessibility metadata existing inside the SVG object;
Whether HTML content inside an svg:foreignObject fragment is attached to the HTML DOM.</thetext>

    <thetext>This doesn&apos;t have anything to do with parsing.

Why do you expect to find information about the accessibility characteristics of SVG in the HTML specs as opposed to the SVG spec?</thetext>

    <thetext>The writing HTML documents section could be clearer on how you go in and out of the foreign lands. Currently it is not entirely clear that you can escape foreign content.</thetext>
