Action Review

Role mapping for SVG element
HTML has different roles for the SVG element than SVG AAM
That spec does not map <svg> to any existing ARIA role
It does, however, map it to the relevant graphics-related roles in each API
(or group if no appropriate role exists)
vs
group role

Expectations for presentational element with title child
Should role none/presentation exclude an SVG element from the accessibility
tree when the element has a title/desc

Difference between testable statements in wiki and spec
Webkit (Apple) doesn't follow the spec for name - the spec has requirements
for exposing labelledby, apple doesn't see a current need for exposing
labelledby

Rich filed a bug on my request and if we agree labelledby doesn't need to
be expose we need to remove the bug
