            Bug ID: 145263
           Summary: AX: <img> elements with an SVG src are ignored by VO
                    despite valid alt attribute
    Classification: Unclassified
           Product: WebKit
           Version: 528+ (Nightly build)
          Hardware: All
                OS: iOS 8.2
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: Accessibility
          Assignee: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org

Currently, if a page has an <img src="blah.svg" alt="blah"> (with an SVG as the src), Safari/VoiceOver completely skips the image and doesn't announce the alt attribute text. Only low-impact solution I found was explicitly adding role="img" - this then makes VO behave correctly <img src="blah.svg" alt="blah" role="img">

Expected: regardless of whether it's an SVG, PNG, or whatever, the <img> should not be skipped/ignored by VO and the alt should be announced, even without role="img"
