Right, that's what we've got... in the flowText proposals, I'm missing something now. so you're actually complaining that there isn't a CSS representation of the current SVG flowText system - I'm sure people could knock one up, I'm just not really sure of the value? >>Could you give an example of the syntax used to animate a flow-shape >>property in a CSS stylesheet? >> > Use the CSS property I mentioned above, and then animate the SVG element > however you wish. So you couldn't animate which element described the flowText was contained in, you could only animate the element itself, that's rather less flexible, and would mean you could re-use the region describing the shape across multiple elements if you want to animate them, I'm not sure this is a good idea.
