In Image has non-empty accessible name, Inapplicable example 1 is arguable:

<svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" width="100" height="100">
	<circle cx="50" cy="50" r="40" stroke="green" stroke-width="4" fill="yellow" />
</svg>

Chrome exposes the element as an image in the acc tree, while Firefox treats it as a graphics-document but announces it as an empty image when using a screen reader.

Marking this example as inapplicable forces tools to ignore it as an issue if they aim for full consistency. I suggest removing this specific inapplicable example and adding an Accessibility Support note. Alternatively, we could expand the role's applicability. Either approach works, but I don’t think it should remain inapplicable.

Discussed during F2F.

  • Chrome exposes it as role="image"
  • Firefox exposes it as role="graphics-document"
  • Safari exposes it as generic

Next steps:

  • remove inapplicable example 1 from the testcases of this rule
  • add acc support note
  • create WPT

Moving

And Image not in the accessibility tree is decorative - Inapplicable Example 4
