I am working on tabindex and I am trying to be consistent with what is in HTML5 but I have some questions: - Does the group want focus events that are not handled within the SVG document to bubble up into a containing DOM (HTML) if they are not handled within? I guess this would be the case for any events. We are sharing the same DOM? - Same goes for an SVG element embedded in another SVG element. - Does the group want to support access keys? Personally I think they are terrible and should never have been created. I am not a big fan of them and I know of no IBM group that uses them. As we go to mobile I think they will go the way of the bit bucket. (my 2 cents). Also, in general, people in the accessibility field have been discouraging their use. - Do people agree the anchor element in SVG should be in the keyboard navigation order like HTML, without requireing tabindex? - In terms of keyboard navigation, if we are being used inside of a parent document that also supports tabindex I believe we should be included in the sequential navigation order so at to have seamless navigation. Do you all agree? This happens today with IFrames and is a good accessibility practice as it does not create an accessibility speed bump where you would actively hit some other key(s) to navigate into the SVG element. People want to just tab right into the IFrame. - Do folks want to go to the same degree of specification whereby we dictate the processing of keyboard events like they do in HTML5? - When an element with tabindex receives focus and you can't see it because it is zoomed out should we zoom into the element or give the author the decision to make? I will have lots more questions. I have not looked at integrating the directional keyboard navigation from SVG Tiny yet.
