Hi, Francis-

| Do you mean that nested SVG is not allowed in SVG Tiny 1.2?
| Gosh, I  hope that is not true, because, I've just invested 
| about 100 hours to provide animation for SVG Tiny 1.2 that 
| must use nested SVG. 
| 
| Please confirm.

Sorry, but it's true.

In SVG Tiny 1.1, which is a Rec and is currently deployed. It states:

"SVG Tiny content cannot have nested child 'svg' elements." [1]

The SVG Tiny/Mobile 1.2 Draft Spec is even more explicit:

"An SVG document fragment can only contain one single 'svg' element, this
means that 'svg' elements cannot appear in the middle of SVG content." [2]

I agree that there should be some way of positioning elements and/or groups
relatively, even if it doesn't have the effect of establishing a new
coordinate space (as a nested 'svg' element does, which is why it's so
"expensive"). This may be something to bring up to the SVG WG for the next
version.

This is not to say that no mobile UA will render your content (some of them
do some custom stuff), but you certainly can't depend upon it.
