Thinking out loud here... There is a problem with the way and
work that may be relevant, or even resolvable here. SVG has little implicit
accessibility, so it has to be applied explicitly.
When you define something in and duplicate it with , the
accessibility has to be applied inside the . When the accessibility
sits inside the it creates problems. For example this would result in
duplicated ID values in the rendered document:
First rectangle
It isn't possible to apply more than basic accessibility to the
element, and it doesn't seem to be possible to cross the streams to
reference things inside the from outside.
