Description steve faulkner 2013-10-09 14:19:59 UTC 
+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #13541 +++

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 "application" will offer access to the SVG DOM directly; 
Whether setting its role to something other than "application" would hide any accessibility metadata existing inside the SVG object;
Whether HTML content inside an svg:foreignObject fragment is attached to the HTML DOM.
