The problem is that the simple way that Batik uses Rhino to reflect Java objects into JavaScript would need to be modified a fair bit to allow expando properties. You are right that GPL code can’t be added to Batik. > So maybe this functionality should be interpreted as a de facto > standard, as it's supported by all of the browser implementations?

If implementations follow Web IDL, then expando properties are allowed. I think all of the major browser vendors are on board with allowing this, if they don’t already. -- Cameron McCormack ≝ http://mcc.id.au/ ------------------------------------ ----- To unsubscribe send a message to: [email protected] -or- visit http://groups.yahoo.com/group/svg-developers and click "edit my membership" ----Yahoo!
