These are (http://www.w3.org/TR/SVG/intro.html#TermContainerElement): An element which can have graphics elements and other container elements as child elements. Specifically: ‘a’, ‘defs’, ‘glyph’, ‘g’, ‘marker’, ‘mask’, ‘missing-glyph’, ‘pattern’, ‘svg’, ‘switch’ and ‘symbol’. All of them can contain title and desc elements and thus can have accessible name and description (bug 459357). SVG a element: bug 822990 SVG g element: bug 764422 SVG svg element is accessible. I don't really have a good idea about other elements, how they are represented to the user and thus how they should be mapped to accessibility API. Jonathan, if you can share some info about these elements implementation it would be great.
Severity: normal → S3

<g> was made accessible in bug 1151648. I don't know how we should handle the others here.
