Thanks for link. I meaned implementation scheme, comparable with code documentation system. I.e., when special code is written to svg property, supposed only for humans (properties metadata, desc). I expect metadata to be best util for that: http://www.w3.org/TR/SVG11/metadata.html#MetadataElement These metadata should be for element, rendered as is only as last resort, and if possible - replaced by inclusion of file for referenced icon. Another case: icon-related stuff (i mean code) could parse svg "code" for special tags and insert inclusions and other necessary stuff before to pass it to svg rendering code. In this case special tags may be implemented as some extension for svg, but in this case i don't know, will pure svg parsers smartly skip such unknown elements or fail on them. _______________________________________________ xdg mailing list [email protected] http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/xdg
