Subject: Fw: Use of SVG DTD in
Batik

MT> Has anyone a comment on these questions?
I was hoping Thierry or Stephane would answer, but
I'll take a
shot and they can correct me when I'm wrong.
MT> 1.
Is it the rule that batik loads svg dtd on processing. (either
MT>
remote or local)?
I believe this is
controlled (in the viewer) by
Preferences->Browser Options-> Use a
validating XML parser. I suppose
it is up to you to turn on
validation or not if you are constructing
your own parser. As for
local or remote I know that Batik has a copy
of the DTD in the resources
directory I suspect that if your DTD
reference matches the standard it uses
the local copy.
MT> 2. Can it be avoided?
I believe DTD validation can be avoided.
However Batik does a
very good job of validating all _properties_ (CSS
related things) when
it constructs it's DOM. This is always done and I
suspect you must do
it if you are going to be a compliant CSS
implementation (CSS doesn't
seperate well-formedness and validation, it
would be difficult to do
since CSS has "types" where as XML just has
strings).
MT> 3. What are the plans for future - mandatory or
not?
I think DTD stuff will continue to be
optional.
MT> 4. Why does it do that? Doesn't it make sense on some
occasions to
MT> allow unvalidated processing of
svg?
See my answer to
#2.
