Re: SVG12: animating transform ref()

Hi Björn,
It is not possible to animate a transform that is of ref() type. We believe this is clear in the spec since it says that the type attribute on animateTransform can have type = "translate | scale | rotate | skewX | skewY". Therefore ref() is not animatable. The WG has now made this clearer in the spec by adding the following to the type attribute definition: "If type has an unsupported value (e.g. type="foo" or type="ref(svg)") the 'animateTransform' element is ignored."

Please let us know within a week if this change does not address your concern.
Thanks
/The SVG WG

Dear Scalable Vector Graphics Working Group,
 
  http://www.w3.org/TR/2005/WD-SVGMobile12-20050413/ is unclear about
animation of the transform attribute if this involves the "ref()
attribute type"; please change the draft such that this is well-defined.
 
regards,
