For commonly-used SVG icons that we implement (or have already implemented) as React components, we should explore adding support for:

Without these, I suspect we risk allowing accessibility violations to creep in as we reuse these icon components.

In terms of basic implementation, I think this looks something like:

  • add title prop to populate <title> attribute on the <svg> element
  • fallback to aria-hidden="true" if no title is provided

@ty2k I'm happy to take a first pass at implementing this myself, but would appreciate your thoughts on whether my assumptions here are valid?
