The text in the accessibility modified file is visible, but it's not selectable.

The original, "non-accessible" file, has selectable text, but only via a CTRL-A, a CTRL-C and a CTRL-V. But its text is quite ugly and garbled when pasted.

I've tested the original, "non-accessible" SVG file with JAWS and it reads the file pretty decently, but it doesn't even read *anything* from the "accessible" SVG file.

I'll attached the original SVG, the screen reader accessible SVG that I attempted to create and the "diff -Nau" between the two files.

Any help would be appreciated.
