Hi I wonder if anyone has done any experimenting with IE9 and ASV. Certain features[1] in ASV are still more advanced than any other browser, leaving certain aspects of the SVG spec untestable among all these new-fangled browsers. (I'm hoping to put Windows 7 on one of my machines at the office, but just haven't had time yet!)
Some questions for those in the know: 1. Any luck turning on and off ASV in IE9? 2. While IE8 does not yet support HSL color values (as in <use xlink:href="#two" stroke="hsl(180, 100%, 34%)" fill="hsl(220,100%,40%)" /> ), I assume (since that is defined in CSS3) that IE9 will. So, if one were running ASV in IE9, would IE9's support of HSL color values be inherited into ASV? That is, does ASV take its SVG color definitions from the IE platform, or since at the time of implementation, SVG's color definitions were more advanced than HTML's, would ASV override the browser's behavior here? Generally, I think that as versions of IE have improved and as bug fixes have been found, ASV seems to have been resilient enough to reflect those improvements, at least in realms of scripting, though that may have been illusory. 4. Are any of the fakeSMIL libraries still being actively maintained, and where would the best ones be? Has anyone done any testing on the proportion of animateable features that those libraries actually support. 5. Has anyone tested SVG 1.2 features in IE9? I'm thinking most obviously of <textArea>, but vector effects would be rather handy too. 6. How about <foreignObject> in IE9? Jeff's chart [2] doesn't seem to have a test for that one. I can't find one through the SVG WG either [3], though I will confess to having several years of accumulated befuddlement about how to find things there. 7. Do W3C requirements that there exist two stable implementations of something in order for something to become a recommendation mean that if implementations disappear then the recommendations will also? [dry humor intended -- I'm not quite sure of the actual language or the scope of this "two implementations doctrine" ] [1]Acknowledgedly these become rarer each year.
