<pre>Hi Nan,
To add to what Joanie said. All shapes are not semantically important. When an author believes a shape is important then they can put a property or child title/desc which will get the shape included in the accessibility tree and hopefully provides a useful name for the user.
When we create charts, I would not want the neat lines, borders and backgrounds announced to the user simply because they are created from shapes. The key idea is to allow the author explicit control of what gets into the accessibility tree.
