Adding links to definitions at end of mail. On Sep 22, 2013, at 3:58 AM, Dirk Schulze <dschulze@adobe.com> wrote: > Hi, > > I think there is a problem with the term "SVG layout box". Since SVG does not have something like layout that is comparable with the CSS boxing model, it is hard to define this term. What is the intention to have a definition for SVG layout box?

Or the object bounding box [SVG11], if the element does not have an associated CSS layout box and is in the 'http://www.w3.org/2000/svg' namespace.

As root SVG element in an HTML document, it is an HTML element with associated CSS layout box. As document root, it has no CSS layout box and is no HTML element. All other SVG elements do not have an associated CSS layout box. > > Greetings, > Dirk SVG layout box: http://dev.w3.org/csswg/cssom-view/#svg-layout-box CSS layout box: http://dev.w3.org/csswg/cssom-view/#css-layout-box layout box: http://dev.w3.org/csswg/cssom-view/#layout-box bounding client rect (CSS Masking): https://dvcs.w3.org/hg/FXTF/raw-file/tip/masking/index.html#bounding-client-rect Greetings, Dirk
