+1 to graphics-document (it’s clearer)

If there is consensus on the main ARIA working group to go with the longer name, I don't have a problem with that.  In the SVG Accessibility Task Force, we did discuss a number of variations on the name and settled on graphics-doc as a compromise between concise and comprehensible.

 

I would ask for a quick resolution, though (i.e., comments on mailing list this week & discussion at the next ARIA telcon), so we can update all the specs sooner rather than later, and definitely before the next heartbeat drafts.

While reviewing a related thread, I noticed the "graphics-doc" role should be "graphics-document"... With the unfortunate exception of the "img" role (I admit missing this), ARIA has avoided inconsistent abbreviation.
