BTW, congratulations on SVG 1.2T to PR! .. back on topic... We (PFWG) and SVG have been discussing the use of a new @role value for on-the-spot, tailored context help for widget instances. http://www.w3.org/WAI/PF/Group/track/issues/75 On November 11 the Working Group asked me to tell you that we prefer you define this @role value in the SVG documents. http://www.w3.org/WAI/PF/Group/track/actions/302 While we can see the benefit to SVG, we don't need this role where the behavior is scripted. Only once it is built into the browser or processor does it become necessary. There it is a matter of the native semantics of the host language, not a WAI-ARIA overlay. So it makes sense that it be defined in the document controlling the host language. This is not meant to cut off discussion, but as this is technically feasible, we hope you will give it your serious consideration. Al
