nothingismagick has just created a new issue for https://github.com/w3c/svgwg: == Why does xmlns use http not https? == This is not really an issue per sé, more like a request for information. I noticed that it is normal to see `http://` used as a protocol reference to xmlns links and even doctypes. The following is made by affinity designer: ``` <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="no"?> <!DOCTYPE svg PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD SVG 1.1//EN" "http://www.w3.org/Graphics/SVG/1.1/DTD/svg11.dtd"> <svg width="100%" height="100%" viewBox="0 0 1280 1280" version="1.1" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" xml:space="preserve" xmlns:serif="http://www.serif.com/"> ``` If you visit those links manually (copy / paste) the w3.org site will automatically redirect to `https`. I am wondering why `https` is not preferred. Is this going to change with 2.0 ? I brought it up in a PR here: https://github.com/knsv/mermaid/pull/940 Please view or discuss this issue at https://github.com/w3c/svgwg/issues/738 using your GitHub account
