Request

change core/utils/dom.ts createSvgElement: 'svg' and 'g' (group) elements should have the ARIA role GENERIC by default because it ensures that browsers and screen readers do not attempt to associate additional semantic information with the element (which can definitely happen for SVG groups). Callers can further customize the role of the element, if needed.
