Right, but that's the true regardless of whether SVG2 allows the attributes or not. As far as I can tell, it will only make a difference if the author looks at the spec, sees that role is permitted on <desc> and then assumes some mapping. Or, alternatively, if they use a validator tool that might otherwise have alerted them that 'role' is not permitted on <desc>. I think both are unlikely and easy to workaround if necessary. It probably doesn't matter a whole lot but unless there's a strong reason not to, allowing the attributes everywhere seems to me to be simpler, shorter and more consistent. > It is easy to add the aria attributes to all the elements.
