Dear SVG WG,

3.7 The traitDef element

In the 3.7 last example, <xbl:template> may include <rect> and so on.

<xbl:definition element="foo:button">
  <traitDef name="x" namespace="" valueType="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg#SVGLength"/>
  <traitDef name="y" namespace="" valueType="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg#SVGLength"/>
  <traitDef name="width" namespace="" valueType="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg#SVGLength"/>
  <traitDef name="height" namespace="" valueType="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg#SVGLength"/>
  <xbl:template>
    <rect x="100" y="120" width="60" height="48"/>
  </xbl:template>
</xbl:definition>

<foo:button x="0" y="0" width="120" height="100"/>

But attributes in <foo:button> are not inherited to the <rect> because
'traitDef' element does NOT making attributes inheritable, BUT
exposing those to animation engine and DOM access.  If you change the
attribute in <foo:button>, it makes no effect to the button
presentation.  So this example is bad.

Best regards,
