Re: [webcomponents] accessibility enhancements (#340)

As the target of a longdesc, if you are including the SVG via an <img> element... (or stick the content in the "fallback" of an object).
I wrote it because I was building test cases. But given that SVG support is still a bit shaky in terms of accessibility, I think it is a pretty useful backup to have - longdesc is supported by every screenreader I know except VoiceOver (Apple has some objection to it because they think SVG can do better - which could happen in theory but isn't actually true in practice, even of Safari), and most browsers handle it or have simple extensions available to do so.
