Re: svg accessibility tests

Joanie,

If you can come to the Wednesday task force meeting  2pm Eastern, you can
get the conformation. Linux and Mac testing are on our agenda and it would
be nice if folks could ask you questions about the tests, how they work,
coverage, etc. If we can get the group to accept the testing instead of
manual testing, it will reduce our manual testing effort by half.

                                                              
     Regards,

Hey Fred, all.

Thanks for the update. Is it accurate to say that with respect to role
values of "presentation" and "none," SVG should be treated no
differently than any other host language? If so that's an easy change.
Before I make it and ask for code review, please confirm that my
understanding is correct.

Thanks!
