There is, of course, the question of who should come up with the test suites. One possibility would be to take an image that contains title and desc, where the test is that the user can identify the titles and descriptions of objects. This would be different from most SVG tests becuase it must be done manually instead of being able to be compared with a bitmap image. I am sure there are others that wouldn't take too much development work. I note that SVG doesn't require conformance to UAAG, since it is not yet a Recommendation, but presume that it would in future versions. This question is also relevant to the Authoring Tool Accessbility Guidelines.

The User Agent Accessibility Guidelines seeks implementation experience supporting the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines [WCAG1.0] that deal with image forms in SVG. We would like to include examples from SVG. We also wish to include tests in the SVG test suite that includes explicit tests for those WCAG1.0 requirements. In my cursory examination of the SVG test suite I find no occurrence of "accessibility" in any of the SVG html harness html files. Do I assume that this was not a highlighted part of that test suite? Or do I assume that the tests only indirectly address accessibility issues as part of different objectives?. The Accessibility issues with SVG objects should be explicitly included, such as those identified in: Accessibility Features of SVG W3C Note 7 August 2000 Charles McCathieNevile and Marja-Riitta koivunen http://www.w3.org/TR/SVG-access/ "Accessibility requires that the features offered by SVG are correctly used and supported. This Note describes the SVG features that support accessibility and illustrates their use with examples." ...
