Part of what I wrestle with, in the bar graph example, is what to do with the text that is part of the rendered visual representation. Should that be included in the linearization? Unfortuneately, I think I get different answers if the text is the labels on the bars (Australia, New Zealand, etc.) or if the text is the caption for the table. I suspect we don't want the former, by default, but we do want the latter. And, of course, this all gets more complicated if the bar chart is just one object in a larger SVG file. The impression I'm getting, from this discussion, is that a user agent needs to provide interactive navigation for such structures, that an author should be prepared to have the user presented with only the top level description, as well as having the user navigate the structure dynamically, and that a full non-interactive linearization is likely to be confusing. Is this a fair summary? Loretta
