Yes. See the "Accessibility Features of SVG" Note [1], written by 
Charles McCathieNevile and Marja-Riitta Koivunen of W3C/WAI.

It would be difficult in the extreme for Annotea to be designed without 
WAI feedback, since Marja leads the project and Chaals is a regular 
contributor.

I think you may want to review the role of WAI in W3C standards 
development, particularly that of the Protocols and Formats Working 
Group[2], which is explicitly chartered to review all W3C technologies 
for accessibility.
