yes, SVG 1.2 T is missing the DOM methods dealing with length calculations - which is a pity. I am pretty sure that the SVG 1.2 Tiny players already have those calculations present in their code for other purposes. However, SVG 1.2T players are allowed to implement more features from the full version. They aren't restricted to the tiny profile. In fact, Ikivo and Bitflash already implement selected features from the SVG 1.1 full specification, based on customer feedback. In the future there might also be additional profiles to add these features. > I'm not sure what SVG1.2 players are, but the above works in Opera 9.6 > and in IE/ASV3.03.

The webkit nightly builds already support SMIL and the SMIL examples on carto.net work mostly fine. animating stroke-dash and stroke- dashoffset is nothing special - it is like animating every other attribute. The examples also work in Batik - so there are at least 4 implementations out there that implement the examples consistently: ASV, Batik, Opera, Webkit nightly. > FF, Safari and Chrome all support getTotalLength() and > getPointAtLength() though > as can be seen at http://srufaculty.sru.edu/david.dailey/svg/ curve.svg . > (click a few more times and the path itself starts to wiggle) yes, those are implemented in all browsers. I also need them in mapping when positioning elements along a path The use of animated masks is an interesting use case I am interested in further exploring ...
