    [erik] Anybody have experience with this? I've come upon an .svg being used like this: <img src="some.svg">. When using VoiceOver and Safari, and going through the content with VO+Right-arrow, it actually goes through each <g> in the .svg. I had an image that had like 50 stops before I passed it and went on to further content. Setting an alt helps, it's being pronounced as a group with a name. Setting an alt and applying role="img" helps even more. But for no alt, or empty alt, it seems like only aria-hidden="true" helps.

    @clairwebber - I think it's worth it in the fact the CPACC is quite broad in scope, albeit shallow in depth. The feedback that I have received is people who have studied for CPACC have learned a lot during that process. From that perspective it is worth it. In terms of leveraging it to achieve gainful employment as a result of achieving a CPACC cert, I don't know that we are at that point quite yet. However, showing an employer you have taken the initiative to gain knowledge in a particular domain is never a bad thing, IMO.

    Does anyone know of any great examples of accessible infographics leveraging SVG?
