Re: authoring guidance

I think the first step is to review all authoring guidance that is out
there, and identify what needs to be changed!

To get the list started, I did a search of the w3 domain.  It turned up:

   - Accessibility Features of SVG, a W3C note from August 2000
   http://www.w3.org/TR/SVG-access/

   - The Accessibility Support appendix from the main SVG specs
   http://www.w3.org/TR/SVG11/access.html (SVG 1.1)
   http://www.w3.org/TR/SVGTiny12/access.html (SVG Tiny 1.2, added section
   on "user agent accessibility guidelines" which includes interesting ideas
   like providing color information or supporting directional navigation)
   https://svgwg.org/svg2-draft/access.html (SVG 2 editor's draft, doesn't
   currently include the extra section from SVG Tiny, not that it's relevant
   anyway)

   - It looks like that appendix was based on Charles MN's working draft of
   "SVG Techniques for Web Content Accessibility Guidelines"; I don't think
   this document was otherwise continued, but I'm sure Charles can correct me
   if I'm wrong.
   http://www.w3.org/2000/10/wcag2-svg-techs-020318

   - The section on <desc> and <title> in the main SVG specs
   http://www.w3.org/TR/SVG11/struct.html#DescriptionAndTitleElements (SVG
   1.1)
   https://svgwg.org/svg2-draft/struct.html#DescriptionAndTitleElements
   (SVG 2 editor's draft)

   - The section on WAI-ARIA attributes in the SVG 2 draft spec
   https://svgwg.org/svg2-draft/struct.html#WAIARIAAttributes

   - Various parts of the Interactivity chapter in SVG 2
   https://svgwg.org/svg2-draft/interact.html

   - Some work on "SVG Linearization" from 2002:
   http://www.w3.org/2001/svgRdf/

   - A few "SHOULD" statements referencing SVG elements in the main
   WAI-ARIA specs (nothing controversial, search the page for "svg"):
   http://www.w3.org/TR/wai-aria/roles

   - More links, ideas, and discussion on various mailing lists and working
   group wiki pages, e.g.
   http://www.w3.org/Graphics/SVG/IG/wiki/Accessibility_Activity
   http://www.w3.org/Graphics/SVG/WG/wiki/Accessibility_Issues
   http://www.w3.org/community/infographics/wiki/Main_Page
