That's an interesting question. There's a fair body of work on accessible  
SVG - as well as the SVG group itself which has always been a supporter (I  
gave a talk on accessibility and SVG in 1999 at their invitation) people  
like Léonie Watson (who is probably on this list), Sara Soueidan (who I  
think isn't), the PheT team at Colorado University and others produce a  
steady stream of material.

Making graphics software and its output accessible is a challenge, not an  
impossibility. But there's IMHO a shoertage of focus on it an an authoring  
tool level. It would be something that could make a great deal of  
difference.
