Re: Labelling SVG files: publishing updated Accessibility Guidelines

Hi, Jonathan-

I think you're right.  I wrote an essay experiment touching on this a 
while back [1] ... maybe I should restore and update that for modern 
browsers (and search engines).  Thanks for bringing it this to our 
attention.  I've opened an issue report on it [2], and you should feel 
free to add to it.
