If xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"; is not actually formally required by either the XML or SGML standards, then what does it practically accomplish to be ultra-persnickety about it? I'm with Roan Kattouw on this. If you're implementing such a requirement for reasons of Firefox compatibility, then you should be clear about why you're doing it (and there would appear to be no imminently urgent reason to disable the PNG display of a significant number of SVG files right now in the service of an ultimate goal of Firefox compatibility). P.S. A number of programs require the xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink"; header for those SVG files which have links in the graphic code (not just in the metadata), but not for other SVG files... -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug.
