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

@edent could you provide a full code snippet of where you're getting the `aria-label` is not allowed issue?

because the `svg` element itself, with or without a `role=img` should allow `aria-label` and has allowed that for quite some time.

testing it right now, i'm getting no issues with either pattern.  so if you have a valid bug with this allowed pattern, maybe that deserves its own thread.   but based on what you posted here, about allowing aria-label on the svg element itself, that would be out of scope for this issue.
