Issues 23, 24, and 25, in the SVG spec.


Hi Erik,

I updated the <desc> and <title> secton of the spec.:

https://svgwg.org/svg2-draft/struct.html#DescriptionAndTitleElements


There was a restriction in the text which I did not modify:
"Alternate presentations are possible, both visual and aural, which display
the ‘desc’ and ‘title’ elements but do not display ‘path’ elements or other
graphics elements."

Why should this be  restriction on path or other graphics elements?

I did not close issues 24, 24, 25 on the page. Please take a look at the
section and see if you think I need to make any more changes to be able to
close those issues. I did not explain the precedence for when
aria-labelledby and aria-label over title. The ARIA name computation
specification defines the precedence when mapping to platform accessibility
APIs but, as the text states, <title> should only be used for tooltips and
and not the aria attributes. I think the purposes of these attributes is
now clearer for authors.

aria-describedby takes precedence over <desc> on an element when
determining a description.

I also updated all the ARIA links which apparently had changed in the lates
ARIA 1.1 draft. The spec. now references the SVG Accessibility Mapping
specification now that the FWPD is out there.

One suggestion from the task force is that we put more authoring guidance,
only, in a separate authoring guide in the <title> and <desc> section.
