Hello. I am not related to spec‐writing in any way, but I feel like I think the general rationale is to carefully investigate the percentage of uses of a feature, before deciding whether it’s appropriate to drop it. I think the trailing dot is rarely (if ever at all) useful to anyone in anyway, and as a consequence is rarely (if ever at all) used in the Web. On the other hand, various minification tools employ the ability to remove whitespace between arguments, which makes it frequent in the Web — changing it would be a major breaking change in terms of “percentage of SVG images broken”. You could argue that this kind of minification is needless, and I wouldn’t fully disagree, but at the same time, it has already been too widely used to be feasibly removed. -- GitHub Notification of comment by Zambonifofex Please view or discuss this issue at https://github.com/w3c/svgwg/issues/752#issuecomment-557289947 using your GitHub account
