brennanyoung has just created a new issue for https://github.com/w3c/svgwg: == Semantic connections between elements == There's [talk on the aria discussion board](https://github.com/w3c/aria/issues/630) about deprecating `aria-flowto`. I'm alarmed because I believe `aria-flowto` promises to solve a problem which is not handled by any other feature. Alas, it doesn't actually solve the problem. (Hence the talk of deprecation). The problem remains, however: How might we construct an accessible, non-operable directed graph (such as a flowchart) including branching connectors between nodes? One of the alternatives suggested on that thread is [SVG connectors](http://tavmjong.free.fr/SVG/CONNECTORS/index.xhtml), which would indeed offer a mechanism. If `aria-flowto` is at risk getting deprecated, rather than tightened-up (which is what it **really** needs, IMO). could we explore the viability of some kind of (semantic) connection feature for linking SVG elements to one another?
