We should follow to HTMLLinkAccessible, perhaps we can share implementation.

STR:

1. Navigate to data:text/html,<svg viewBox="0 0 100 100" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"><!-- A link around a shape --><a href="/docs/Web/SVG/Element/circle"><circle cx="50" cy="40" r="35"/></a><!-- A link around a text --><a href="/docs/Web/SVG/Element/text"><text x="50" y="90" text-anchor="middle"><circle></text></a></svg>

2. Launch VoiceOver

3. Navigate to web content, cursor to the shape, then to the text.

Expected: VoiceOver reads "Link" when cursor rests on shape, again on text
Actual: VoiceOver reads "Image" followed by "<circle>" (text)

Marked as [mac2020_1] as this is a "content" thing, but would probably prioritise towards the end of the half.

This isn't a mac specific bug, so i'm removing our whiteboard keyword and changing platform.
