What's the issue?

SVGs have a focusable attribute that is used to take SVG's out the tab order for keyboard and assistive technology users who use Internet Explorer. JAWS is the main assistive tech library used for this case. See the w3 spec.

When the the focusable attribute is set to false, the AMP validator fails with the message The attribute 'focusable' may not appear in tag 'svg'. (see https://www.ampproject.org/docs/reference/spec#svg).

How do we reproduce the issue?

Run npx amphtml-validator https://www.test.bbc.com/news/articles/c9rpqy7pmypo.amp and note the failing test on SVGs.

What browsers are affected?

Internet Explorer is the only browser that implements focusable.

Which AMP version is affected?

All versions.
