            Bug ID: 201354
           Summary: Image tag read as "group" by VoiceOver when source is
                    SVG
           Product: WebKit
           Version: Safari 12
          Hardware: Macintosh
                OS: macOS 10.14
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Minor
          Priority: P2
         Component: Images
          Assignee: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org

When using Voiceover, image tags whose source is an SVG are read as a group. The expected behavior is for them to be read as an image, which is what happens in Chrome. 

Inline SVGs in Safari are explicitly given role="img" to achieve the effect of being read as an image rather than a group; however there is no reason an img tag shouldn't always have an implicit role of img, regardless of the format of the source image. 

Here is a small sample codepen that can be used for testing: https://codepen.io/kaylee42/pen/gOYxWwg
