Re: [aria] SVG-AAM: Consider explicit language regarding objects with presentational role and aria-label (#136)

Rich,

Rich,

Joanie has been adding issues in GitHub both for SVG-AAM and the core AAM.
I have these 5 items from Joanie for Friday's agenda.

SVG AAM issues


1. Issue: Does an empty title or description nullify title/description
presence when deciding whether to add an object to the
accessibility tree? Git Issue #134
   2. Issue: Does role none/presentation always exclude an element from
      inclusion in the accessibility tree?  Things that appear to conflict:
      action listeners, presence of global aria properties.  If role
      none/presentation always exclude an element from inclusion in the
      accessibility tree, we need normative text stating so.  Git Issue
      #136
   3. Issue:  tspan element - should it be treated like a span and by
      default not appear in the accessibility tree?  Part of Git Issue #133
   4. Issue: Should xml:title be xlink:title? Section 10.1 Name and
      Description has a couple of references to the "xml:title attribute".
      From some quick searching, I have yet to find any reference to that
      attribute; I have, however, found references and documentation for
      xlink:title. Typo? Git Issue #137
   5. Issue: More on Git issue #137 Test alternative for accessible
      description


   We also have an SVG accessibility task force tracker we can make actions
      and issues in. I would like to use the tracker for actions, but I am
      not sure whether we want two places where issues are logged (tracker
      and Git).

So, fred, ARIA has error handling whereas if you have, on an element,
aria-label="foo" and role="none" that is an error condition and it appears
in the tree because must decide in or out. In this case we believe the
label but ignore the role. However, there is is a situation in SVG where
certain elements must be never be mapped and we need to define these
exceptions like . We need to allude to that in the spec. We need to create
an issue for this. and we need an issue tracker for the SVG-AAM.
