[Previously asked on the svg-dev mailing list, but no answers. Figure it's time to go straight to the horses' mouths.] SUMMARY For getEnclosureList and getIntersectionList, are the returned elements 'below' the reference element in terms of source code (drawn on top of) or 'below' the reference element in terms of z-index (appearing earlier in source code, drawn underneath the reference element)? DETAILS From the SVG1.1 DOM Interface for SVGSVGElement[1], the getEnclosureList(...) method takes two arguments: rect - "The test rectangle. The values are in the initial coordinate system for the current 'svg' element." referenceElement - "If not null, then only return elements whose drawing order has them below the given reference element." What does the word 'below' mean in the description above? Does it mean 'drawn below' (as in lower "z-index"; the elements would be occluded by the reference element if it had an opaque fill) or does it mean 'appears lower in the source code' (i.e. higher z-index, drawn over top of the reference element)? Put another way, is it: returnedElements.zIndex < referenceElement.zIndex or returnedElements.zIndex > referenceElement.zIndex ?
