It's not accessible, no keyboard access. It's also not reading in the right order when using a screenreader and may take additional time to make sense of it.

It reads:

How much pizza I ate last night mushrooms onions olives zucchini pepperoni 37.5% 25% 12.5% 12.5 % 12.5% clickable.

Then when you tab it reads:

Topping slices mushrooms 3 onions 1 olives 1 zucchini 1 pepperoni 2 table end.

I like tip #8 on the following blog post, especially the tabbed interface example: http://www.sitepoint.com/tips-accessible-svg/

It's going to be interesting implementing accessibility into SVG's, especially when it involves workflows, swim lanes, and whatnot.

Best,

Joshua
