Hi, Björn-

I suggest that the paragraph be revised to say:
"Normally, SVG content is designed to be scalable. In order for the SVG
content to scale automatically to fill the available viewport, it must
include a 'viewBox' attribute on the 'svg' element. This describes the
region of world coordinate space (the initial user coordinate system)
used by the graphic. This attribute thus provides a convenient way to
design SVG documents to scale-to-fit into an arbitrary viewport."
To be precise, the "available viewport" is the dimensions specified in a
referencing element ('iframe', 'object', 'embed') in the case of a reference
in a mixed document, the whole browser canvas for a standalone SVG document,
or the dimensions specified in the 'svg' root for compound documents.
Would something like this work for you, Bjoern_?
