Hi Jonathan. Jonathan Chetwynd: > you state: > > > Invalid values in xlink:href="" are one way of making a > ><use> element in error. > > but where is the evidence for your assertion?
I thought I had provided it in a previous e-mail (http://markmail.org/message/7s2biahkzmv6pkxu): The following rules apply to the processing of invalid URI references: * An invalid local URI reference (i.e., an invalid references to a node within the current document) represents an error (see Error processing), apart from the xlink:href attribute on the 'a' element and the properties that allow for backup values in the case where the URI reference is invalid (see 'fill' and 'stroke'). * … — http://www.w3.org/TR/SVG11/struct.html#HeadOverview but looking over that quote again I see I overlooked the word “local”. So I agree that my assertion is incorrect, if externalResourcesRequired="true" has not been specified on the document: * When attribute externalResourcesRequired has been set to true on the referencing element or one of its ancestors, then an unresolved external URI reference (i.e., a resource that cannot be located) represents an error (see Error processing). — http://www.w3.org/TR/SVG11/struct.html#HeadOverview SVG doesn’t seem to require any particular behaviour in the case of a missing external resource when externalResourcesRequired="false". -- Cameron McCormack, http://mcc.id.au/ xmpp:[EMAIL PROTECTED] ▪ ICQ 26955922 ▪ MSN [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
