Hi Cameron, Jonathan, Cameron McCormack wrote:
I think the difference of opinion between Thomas and me is that Thomas thinks that it is allowable for the UA to apply the DTD (for #FIXED attributes) to SVG documents even when they don't have a DOCTYPE declaration, since the DTD is normative in the spec, whereas I think the DTD should apply only when it is explicitly referenced.
Also it should be made clear that this is a _very_ odd case from an SVG specification point of view because we are discussing a programming API, where a programmer has explicitly requested that a given document be parsed as an SVG document. We probably shouldn't be using a SAXSVGDocumentFactory and the generic factory should decide what DOMImplementation to use based on evaluation of the document's root element. This requires some sort of DOM Implementation registry, based on root element tag and namespace, or perhaps just namespace (allow tag to be null in registry?). As I've said before I really don't have a strong feeling about this case. I actually almost removed this previously but in the end it didn't 'feel right' to remove the SVG namespace from the SVG Document parser, but it was a close thing, so if you feel strongly you can remove it. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
