fred-wang has just created a new issue for https://github.com/w3c/svg-aam: == Platform WAI-ARIA Role Mappings for the `<a>` element == cc @twilco @cookiecrook Current [text in the spec](https://w3c.github.io/svg-aam/#role-map-a) is as follows: "[link](https://w3c.github.io/core-aam/#role-map-link) role if the element has a valid href or xlink:href attribute. For a elements that are not links, use the mapping for tspan if the a element is a descendent of text, or the mapping for g otherwise." However, other SVG-AAM issues mentioned current browser implementations differ from the spec and are inconsistent: - https://github.com/w3c/svg-aam/issues/47#issuecomment-4082725504 - https://github.com/w3c/svg-aam/issues/52 There are some discussions happening for For HTML AAM and MathML AAM: https://github.com/w3c/html-aam/issues/608 https://github.com/w3c/mathml-aam/issues/39 Likely we want SVG (and MathML) to be consistent with what HTML does.
