As currently specced in the ARIA Proposal, ARIA can be used in SVG as
follows:
<svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"
xmlns:h="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"
xmlns:a="http://www.w3.org/2005/07/aaa">
...
<circle h:role="checkbox" a:checked="true" .../>
The suggestion here is to instead use:
<svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg">
...
<circle role="checkbox" aria-checked="true" .../>
Correct?
