Yeah, I think it's probably not a bad idea to add explicit namespace declarations on the root element there. > The test is checking external <use> and references a rect, > circle, polygon and ellipse in an external file. > > The external file is '../images/svgRef4.svg' which has > as its root element: > > <svg id="svg-root" width="100%" height="100%" viewBox="0 0 480 360" > > > i.e. no namespace declaration. There is an SVG doctype though, which is what Opera looks at in this case. From the XML spec[1] it follows that #FIXED attributes should be qualified with the given default value, which in the SVG DTD declares the svg and the xlink namespaces on the svg element. > If 'svgRef4.svg' is parsed with an > XML parser, the elements with id of 'alpha', 'beta', etc. are in > the null namespace, not in the SVG namespace. Right, unless the UA either loads the external DTD and applies it (optional), or knows what it is and applies it (you might argue that it's still optional of course).
