Dear SVG WG, I have found a problem in the specification of SVGLength. The issue arises when the unitType happens to be a value other than SVG_LENGTHTYPE_NUMBER or SVG_LENGTHTYPE_PX, and the SVGLength does not have sufficient context to allow conversion to and from user units and it's unit type. For example, consider the following short script. var length = document.documentElement.createSVGLength(); length.newValueSpecifiedUnits(length.SVG_LENGTHTYPE_PERCENTAGE, 100); alert(length.value); // so what's its value in user units? This situation may also happen when the SVGLength belongs to an element that exists in a document fragment that is not embeded in a document. The behavior of value, valueAsString, newValueSpecifiedUnits or convertToSpecifiedUnits when insufficient context exists should be defined. Perhaps a new exception is in order here?
