I think this is the most important case.

Those methods are implemented in both ASV and Batik and should be in some way or another part of SVG1.2. > * level-of-detail images - such as maps. See previously. load-on-demand can already be done. --- To me, simple guidelines on how to author your SVG content such as the viewer can display things without having the whole document in memory is also a solution. I don't think (at this time) that we need to add anything in SVG apart from getURL/parseXML. Thierry.
