Thank you, Marcos. I'm getting lost in the discussion as it goes in two separate threads/groups (IAccessible2 one and SVG groups).
I buy Doug's argument [1] that non browser SVG tools may not implement HTML, but still they are keen to support ARIA to make their products accessible. This argument can be a justification for ARIA figure role I think. Having said that, I'm adherent to the idea of re-using HTML elements in SVG documents. The author should be able to use standard HTML and SVG blocks to make the content accessible. <foreingObject> perhaps is not the most convenient structure to embed HTML into SVG, but it works, which makes ARIA role='figure' less valuable in the browser's word. I don't think that ARIA role='figure', implemented in the browsers, may harm anyone, I'd be interesting though to hear from other browsers on this topic. Rich, I think ARIA role='figure' should have same IAccessible2 mapping as HTML figure element has, which is ROLE_SYSTEM_GROUPING and xml-roles:figure object attribute. Thank you. Alexander.
