Requiring XSLT 2.0 support seems very unlikely for SVG 1.2... it's a
massive spec :) But given that SVG 1.2 has DOM 3 XPath, and that most
XPath implementations have pluggable extensions (or at the very least a
table of functions), the addition of something exposing those along the
lines of:
interface SVGXPathEvaluator : xpath::XPathEvaluator {
void registerFunction( in DOMString NamespaceURI,
in DOMString FunctionName,
in EventListener function );
}
A listener taking an XPathResultList and returning an XPathResult would
cut it. Wouldn't you then have all you need to implement CSVG on top of
SVG 1.2?
