(The archive seems to be functional, anyone else having > trouble posting?) Now I'm feeling bad. I've seen both of Michael's previous post's on this topic and have only got around to responding now. Sorry Michael. Regarding the messages not appearing on www-svg: I'm not sure what is happening there. To be honest I've given up moderating that list. People get an automatic response when their email doesn't make it, and while that isn't as good as me checking every failed post by hand it saves me a lot of time. I just checked and your messages were not there (I'll note that of the failed messages, more than 99.5% are spam and the rest are subscribe messages). Now onto the question. > At any rate, is anyone on the working group aware of the apparent flaw > in the DTD?

I take it that "text-top" and "textbottom" were removed from 1.1 ? Yes. I can't remember the reasoning, but this property is actually inherited from XSL, so we just followed what they had done. > 2. Why do the DTDs read "autosense-script" but the specs read, > "use-script" (both 1.0 and 1.1)? Is this an error or is there a reason > for this? If one is right and one is wrong, which is right? I think one of them is wrong. I can't say for certain which one, but I'll check this out very soon. Again, the XSL definition will be the authoratative one. > 3.

"alphabetic" is mentioned in both 1.0 and 1.1 specs, but not the > DTDs. Hmmm... I'll check that as well.
