To confirm for the SVG Accessibility folks, this resolution was approved at last week's telcon: https://www.w3.org/2016/06/30-svg-minutes.html#resolution01 ...and now that I look at that again, the resolution text has got it mixed up about which one is a FPWD (should be the Graphics Roles AAM) and which are new drafts (SVG-AAM and ARIA Graphics Module). I hope that doesn't affect the intent!
