JAWS and SVG ARIA markup

All,

I used a couple of files that are generated from the testable statements in
the wiki (zip of files sent on the thread with Chaals). Using Firefox with
JAWS I could hear the markup being read. It appears that JAWS identifies,
aria-labeledby, aria-label, title and contents of a text element.  The
tests are simple so I don't know what it does if there are multiple
elements with markup. I expect it picks the first one.  In trying 1 file
with NVDA, it read the markup too.  Not a conclusive test, but it suggests
that we should recommend marking up inline SVG rather than use figure and
figcaption.



                                                              
     Regards,
