I have updated the editors drafts on github for the SVG 2 specification and the SVG a11y mapping guide to reflect this change, for <use> when alternative text, descriptions, and tabindex is applied without a role attribute. I would like to get a heartbeat draft out for the SVG Accessibility Mapping specification in August. So far, the changes involve: - tabindex effecting default role mapping - For the elements that mapped to none I changed the default mapping to no mapping at all - This change As a minimum, I would like to see the name computation updated. If we can be aggressive I would like to see a FPWD of a graphics taxonomy to coincide with it. I know that is asking a lot, especially, since I go on vacation again for 2 weeks in July. Other things to consider: - ARIA has a good chance of being under a separate charter by August. I will work with Michael on any logistics involving this. - Regarding mappings for the new graphics roles, we could put them in the SVG A!!y mapping spec. and have other specs. map to them. - Some roles we could place in the main ARIA 1.1 specification if we think they have broader applicability beyond drawings. - Defining a prefix of say g- (e.g. role="g-symbol") for the roles in the taxonomy to ensure no naming conflicts This is the new module extension process for ARIA 1.X: https://www.w3.org/WAI/PF/wiki/ARIAExtensions Thank you for the great call today. We are making a lot of progress. Best, Rich Rich Schwerdtfeger
