And equally we could question why the Name..., and Description... widgets have
even made it onto the Format menu--and are not present by default on the
context menu for the objects supporting them. [1] The casual user has no
interest in preparing accessible documents and doesn't.  

But as a document authoring tool (providing ODF svg:title and svg:desc) we need
to encourage and facilitate accessible documents--hence the presence on the
Format menu and context menus active for objects.

And suggestions like bug 39558 (to prompt to add title and alt/longdesc
attributes) and bug 96355 (for a consistent Properties... dialog).
