This seems like a question better asked the SVG WG. Ignoring that, I'm not sure how a color picker for SVG would work since SVG doesn't have forms (yet?). Ignoring that, the claim is that ARIA is a bridging technology, not a useless technology. So I'm not sure I understand the point of your question. Whatever the date is, ARIA will work as a bridge to that date. / Jonas
