Do you imagine something like `aria-describedby` pointing at a `foreignObject` (HTML) which would put the screen reader in browse mode somehow? I would find this **very** useful. We are replacing some `text` and `tspan` elements with `foreignObject` HTML in the hope that the default HTML5 semantics therein (headings, lists) could be made available somehow, but I don't know what the 'approved' mechanism for that would be. Currently, we just copy the text nodes from the foreign object into an `aria-label`, which gets announced, but is hardly ideal - since it just becomes plain text. In our case, the semantic text **is** rendered on-screen, but I can imagine cases where we would not want to do that. -- GitHub Notification of comment by brennanyoung Please view or discuss this issue at https://github.com/w3c/svg-aam/issues/6#issuecomment-562074693 using your GitHub account
