Structural GUI language for SVG?

I've been pestering a number of people regarding SVG and accessibility 
for a while now ~:"

What's becoming clear to me is that SVG is missing an agreed standard 
for describing GUI structure
such things as 'button' 'breadcrumb' 'navigation' 'style-control' 
'illustration'
could others add to this list? and comment?

If SVG is ever to be truly accessible this GUI structural language will 
be essential information.

thanks
