I thought about this too and I don't think there's much harm in simply allowing role= and all the aria-* attributes on SVG elements as well. They don't bring any associated DOM interfaces with them and it only makes things easier for authors. It would be pretty trivial to modify the ARIA proposal for HTML5 to make it suitable for SVG as well. As some kind of add-on to both (X)HTML and SVG. -- Anne van Kesteren <http://annevankesteren.nl/> <http://www.opera.com/>
