Re: SVG graphics best practise of hiding content.

From a "spectical" point of view (i.e. according to the SVG spec) n
<svg> element without a <title> <desc> or <text> is decortive, no
hiding required.
role="presentation" and tabindex="-1" was recommended as a fix for
Ie11 (that is no longe updated).
Obviously none of this works if the SVG element is focusable (in which
case it should not be hidden).
