http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=5567 Summary: always provide a 'title' child element to the 'svg' element Product: SVG Version: SVG 1.1 Full Platform: Macintosh OS/Version: All Status: NEW Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: Accessibility Support AssignedTo: schepers@w3.org ReportedBy: j.chetwynd@btinternet.com QAContact: www-svg@w3.org SVGt 1.1 section 5.4 The 'desc' and 'title' elements Please can the following statement: "Authors should always provide a 'title' child element to the 'svg' element within a stand-alone SVG document." be moved to the top of section 5.4**? ** the current first line "Each container element or graphics element in an SVG document may supply a 'desc' and may also supply a 'title' description." suggests that one need not read further. the outcome being that of the ~7000 openclipart examples ~5 have title content. additional evidence includes the facts that; inkscape appears to provide no means to enter title content, and the maintainer bryce is not aware of any means. none of the well known and used croczilla examples has a title, even though such a request has been made, http://www.croczilla.com/svg/samples/ as you will be aware "Providing a.. (title) ..is one of the primary ways authors can make their documents accessible to people with disabilities." http://www.w3.org/TR/SVG-access/#Equivalent this information is vital when trying to find or sort svg files: http://peepo.getmyip.com/~JonathanChetwynd/db/search.php?search=shield
