SVG has title and desc elements (http://www.w3.org/TR/SVG/struct.html#DescriptionAndTitleElements) which should be mapped into accessible name and accessible description correspondingly.

SVG element containing these elements should be accessible. It makes sense to expose an accessible for title element since it's implemented as tooltip and fire proper events when it shown/hidden.

Some SVG elements use xlink attributes. I'm not sure whether they act as links.

Also SVG has text element which is visible and thus should be exposed to AT as text interface.

Maybe we have something else that should be accessible.

SVG example which is not accessible in Firefox at all: http://www.nvaccess.org/audioScreen/svg/house.svg.

Jonathan, can you provide some details about SVG and SVG implementation please? For example, what elements can contain title and desc elements and where their implementation is located in.
