Er, why is that? I don't understand that at all, there's lots of ways of showing that something is a link that don't rely on a mouse, and don't see anything wrong with your solution with the "tabbing" - which is something the SVG spec needs to address in any case.). There's probably different ways of highlighting the current link than the fake cursor, but that depends on the device. > Gives complete control to the content > developer.

I don't like the idea that requiring dynamic viewers is useful in SVG. Jim.
