Indeed such requirements are already mentioned in the recommendations in a slightly more general form - not necessarily a menu structure, but the general functionality (how to realise it I think cannot be generalised for all viewers). More important than zooming is some access to all alternative text information in title, desc (and metadata) elements in such a context menu like facility, what is currently unfortunately not available in several viewers, especially not in the adobe plugin, what this is not a good example for a nice context menu at all. Therefore users of such viewers cannot benefit from such text information within documents. See for example SVG tiny 1.2: http://www.w3.org/TR/SVGMobile12/conform.html http://www.w3.org/TR/SVGMobile12/access.html or in SVG 1.1: http://www.w3.org/TR/SVG11/conform.html About zooming: "For interactive user environments, facilities must exist for zooming and panning of stand-alone SVG documents or SVG document fragments embedded within parent XML documents." In one of the next SVG versions, however the accessibility support requirements for viewers could be indicated as normative to pronounce this a little bit more, with the main good effect, that authors may pay more attention on acessibility, as soon as such text information is accessible for all users ;o) Olaf
