Re: [svg-aam] SVG-AAM should address which elements should map to ARIA `generic` role (#21)

Similar issue. On our SVG icons, we use:

```svg
<svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" aria-label="Example" role="img" …
```

Which leads to 

> Attribute “aria-label” not allowed on element “svg” at this point.

Is there a better way to add accessibility to a stand-alone SVG? Or is the conformance checker being needlessly pedantic?
