Yes. There is a lot that could be done with SVG. Although implementation
of accessibility features tends to be weak still, there are examples that
show a lot of potential.

Have a look at https://github.com/SVG-access-W3CG/use-case-examples for
some starting points. Incorporating a lot of what works into charting
libraries is not terribly complex despite being rare. Same for fixing a
lot of the simpler browser bugs.

cheers
