It is not yet clear how the <desc> element should be exposed, but the <title> element is pretty obvious. The root <title> element should be exposed to AT agents exactly as the <img> element's "alt" attribute is exposed. However, an "aria-label" attribute on the <svg> element should take precedence. HTML Task Force in discussion is unclear in this case whether it's a question for the HTML spec or the SVG spec, since this is "inside" the SVG element. Filing this bug to meet deadline but will need to figure this out. 52284 1 cam 2011-08-03 23:36:23 +0000 (In reply to comment #0) > We need eventually to define how the root-level <title> and <desc> tags are > exposed to AT agents in an HTML document.

Because I think of SVG <title> as more like title="" than alt="". > However, an "aria-label" attribute on the <svg> > element should take precedence. > > HTML Task Force in discussion is unclear in this case whether it's a question > for the HTML spec or the SVG spec, since this is "inside" the SVG element. > Filing this bug to meet deadline but will need to figure this out. I think this should be defined by SVG, but we currently do not. SVG 2 or a separate specification will define default roles etc. for SVG content. HTML can then defer to that. 54109 2 mike 2011-08-04 05:36:10 +0000 mass-move component to LC1 54158 3 annevk 2011-08-04 08:46:29 +0000 Defining the semantics of SVG is out of scope for HTML.
