title: Accessibility and SVG Text
body: <p>We are receiving accessibility validation errors from worldspace / fireeyes for color contrast on some of our text that is over a semi transparent background or over a gradient background. </p>
  
  <p>In interest of keeping our web design intact, a solution seems to be to use SVG text in these cases. W3C seems to be good with it, and it passes on FireEyes.</p>
  
  <p>However, I don't know if I'm cheating or not. Graphically it would still look the same on the page, including contrast. </p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>Does color contrast not matter as much with SVG's? Is it ok to be
  below the 4.5:1 contrast ration on SVG text?  </li>
  <li>Are accessibility tools somehow able to deal with SVG's more easily<br>
  than typical text?</li>
  <li>Are there other concerns unique to SVG text that may arise if we
  switch?</li>
  </ul>
  
  <p>We are not worried about having to deal with older browsers so early IE is not an issue.</p>
