Thanks for catching this @shanmuga-m In SVG 1.1, there was no `auto` and the initial value (if the attribute wasn't specified) was 0. The `auto` sizing option was added to SVG 2 relatively recently, but I guess we didn't catch all the necessary editorial changes. The initial value for `width` and `height` is always `auto` (that's defined in CSS), although for some aspects of SVG (but _not_ images) we treat `auto` as 0. That entire section in the [Embedded Content chapter](https://svgwg.org/svg2-draft/embedded.html#Placement) should be re-written to make it clear that these are the geometry properties / presentation attributes being used, not separate attributes. -- GitHub Notification of comment by AmeliaBR Please view or discuss this issue at https://github.com/w3c/svgwg/issues/237#issuecomment-241070715 using your GitHub account
