jnqnfe has just created a new issue for https://github.com/w3c/svgwg: == Standardised `label` attribute? == Inkscape uses a custom `inkscape:label` element attribute to capture friendly labels that can be set and displayed in the 'layers and objects' panel. I presume other editors do something similar. Would it not be nice to standardise such a `label` attribute for editors to allow for slightly cleaner/smaller markup? (I don't think `aria-label` would be suitable for this, and Inkscape pays no attention to it (currently at least; maybe there's a bug report asking for it, I haven't looked)). If no label is specified, Inkscape uses the ID property, but this can't support spaces.
