I sent a short mail to Chris Lilley, who is (was?) responsible for SVG
at W3C. I hope I'll get an answer soon.
Regards, Martin.

And yet you do it so often! :-)
The reference for SVG is still wrong, because the title of the new URL is not "About
SVG". This issue is editorial, so fix it when it's convenient.
Current:
[ABOUT-SVG]
W3C, "About SVG", n.d.,
<https://www.w3.org/Graphics/SVG/ [w3.org]>.
Possible fix 1:
[SVG]
W3C, "W3C SVG Working Group", n.d.,
<https://www.w3.org/Graphics/SVG/ [w3.org]>.
Possible fix 2:
[SVG]
W3C, "Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG)", n.d.,
<https://www.w3.org/TR/SVG/ [w3.org]>.
I prefer fix #2, but it's not a big deal.
Gaaaah, this is, unfortunately, a very good point. When there is a reference to
a web page, what is the title used in the reference listing?
- The thing in the <title> tag, if it exists (Possible fix #1 above)
- The obvious title-looking thing visible on the page (Possible fix #2 above)
The current text in the current document is quite probably wrong because it
doesn't even appear in a title-y thing on the page.
My sense is "The thing in the <title> tag, if it exists" because it is fact-based and not open
for interpretation. However, some sites will mess this up badly, such as putting in some extraneous SEO text.
It would be good to have a rule like "The thing in the <title> tag, if it exists, or something
better if it doesn't exist or they site creator has messed this up".
