<pre>For <svg> elements with accessible contents, we decided to expose them as AXGroups because VoiceOver on OS X currently treats AXImages as leaf nodes (it won't traverse into descendants of an AXImage). If that were to change in a future version, it may be better to expose these as an AXImage with a subrole — I think we discussed AXImage:AXInteractiveImage or something to that effect.
For simple SVG elements with no accessible descendants (like the test cases above), there is no benefit to keeping the AXGroup role, so I think we should expose those as flat AXImages.</pre>
