Hi all,
I have a working implementation of getElementById built around a Document Hash Table. It handles all the nasty cases pretty well.
In writing the test I noticed some deviation from expected behavior by the Adobe viewer as well as previous versions of Batik. In particular it appears that getElementById for both always search the _entire_ document tree, even if the svg element is 'disconnected' from the main tree.
This behavior isn't hard for me to implement but it seems quite wrong to me. There was a fairly long discussion on this in www-svg with the end of the discussion being that the DOM spec doesn't even define what Document.getElementById is supposed to search, much less the SVG spec specifying what SVGSVGElement.getElementById should search.
My current inclination would be to have getElementById "search" the entire 'fragment' it is associated with (document or disconnected subtree). This still diverges from Adobe where they will search the main tree even when called on a disconnected subtree, but this is probably more in keeping with what will be needed for Shadow tree's.
Any comments?
