RE: [SVG] graphics-doc role should be graphics-document (ARIA has avoided inconsistent abbreviation)

Due to the close relationship https://www.w3.org/TR/graphics-aria-1.0/#graphics-doc with role="document":

Application and document are currently treated as landmarks in AT.

Should it be possible to use landmark navigation to navigate to elements with role="graphics-document"? With other words,
is "graphics-document" besides from being ARIA structure related intended to have landmark properties, too?

If so, the long format would reflect that more properly.

Either graphics-doc or graphics-document is fine by me.

I am fine with changing it but with the prefix it is a mouthful. Now would be the time to change it. We can post it like does anyone object to the name change and just do it if no objections. I don't want to take meeting time for that.

If there is consensus on the main ARIA working group to go with the longer name, I don't have a problem with that. In the SVG Accessibility Task Force, we did discuss a number of variations on the name and settled on graphics-doc as a compromise between concise and comprehensible.

I would ask for a quick resolution, though (i.e., comments on mailing list this week & discussion at the next ARIA telcon), so we can update all the specs sooner rather than later, and definitely before the next heartbeat drafts.

While reviewing a related thread, I noticed the "graphics-doc" role should be "graphics-document"... With the unfortunate exception of the "img" role (I admit missing this), ARIA has avoided inconsistent abbreviation.
