I see your point, but the forum is actually a good place to start from then. It's more for discussions but if there is a bug people will advise you to report it. If you want to know more about the progress of some particular issue then ask there. > regarding systemLanguage http://www.peepo.co.uk is a test case and this > was indicated in the forum and reported in bug #207469 > this has worked for some years in ASV3.1, and closely follows your > suggestion, though perhaps missing some safety checks. > my coding is most likely defective and I would welcome your always > useful support and comments and shall act on them. From the SVG 1.1 spec about systemLanguage: 'Evaluates to "true" if one of the languages indicated by user preferences exactly equals one of the languages given in the value of this parameter, or if one of the languages indicated by user preferences exactly equals a prefix of one of the languages given in the value of this parameter such that the first tag character following the prefix is "-".' So if multiple languages are specified by user preferences, then it's clear in the spec that any one of them will trigger a match for systemLanguage. Maybe ASV3 doesn't support multiple preferred languages? > When asserting that elements and attributes are supported it is > important that there are cogent arguments to sustain decisions and UA > behaviour.

The SVG spec is large, and it is considerable work to actually test every bit of it, not to mention regression-testing releases so that nothing breaks as we go along. Yes currently the support-documentation is largely based on developer information, but I'm sure that the documentation will improve over time. If you want to help improve the documentation that's great, we would love to hear your thoughts. The forum would be one suggested place to start then :) I don't see how our documentation is all that different from the documentation for Mozilla's SVG implementation, do you mean that that too should indicate "partial" support? > How does one select 'large size' buttons? on OS X? > is this a known bug? I don't know exactly what you mean, but it seems like something non-svg-related, no?
