SVG accessibility new issues

All,

I want to thank Joanie for talking with the task force about the webkit
layout (regression) tests for SVG accessibility.

We have several issues that we didn't either get to or didn't get resolved
in todays meeting and I wanted to get them on list. Some may require webkit
code changes, so it would be good to resolve them quickly.

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 doesn't follow the spec for name - the spec has requirements for
exposing labelledby, webkit doesn't bother - neither linux (Joanie) or
apple 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
