--- Comment #21 from Derk-Jan Hartman <[email protected]> 2012-10-25 09:53:52 UTC --- >From my point of view, SVG files can only be hosted on the web if they are valid XML files. This is because there is only one valid Content-Type for these files, and that is "image/svg+xml". This declares that the 'downloaded file' is an XML file, which is also a requirement by by http://www.w3.org/TR/SVG/conform.html. Files without xmlns are valid XML files. I think they are even well formed xml. Per the specification in G2 of the SVG conformance specification, they are however not valid SVG files because it specifies as a requirement for 'valid': "Set the attributes xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"; and xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink"; on D's document element", which these files do not have. I note however, that for our parser, probably only xmlns is required, not xmlns:xlink... Our parser also doesn't trip over files with missing DTD information and that is a requirement for valid SVG files. This is all details. In theory we could have our parser retry the file without namespace information, if the root matches exactly <svg. However, considering the fact that neither Firefox, Chrome, Safari nor Mac OS X itself are able to display this file, I'm not sure if that is a good idea. Are these files right now accepted for upload ? -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug.
