Dear Scalable Vector Graphics Working Group, http://www.w3.org/TR/2005/WD-SVGMobile12-20051207/fonts.html defines the lang attribute as The attribute value is a comma-separated list of language tags as defined in IETF Best Current Practice 47 [BCP 47]. The glyph can be used if the xml:lang attribute exactly matches one of the languages given in the value of this parameter, or if the xml:lang attribute exactly equals a prefix of one of the languages given in the value of this parameter such that the first tag character following the prefix is "-". If the attribute is not specified, then the glyph can be used in all languages. This seems to imply that implementations MUST NOT use the glyph if there is a language mismatch. Please change the draft such that it is clear whether this is intended. If it is, I think the draft should be changed such that the lang attribute is rather a hint, at least in cases where the font includes a specific glyph the implementation needs to render a text but the languages mismatch, implementations should be free to optimise behavior e.g. to avoid rendering missing glyph glyphs instead. regards, -- Björn Höhrmann · mailto:bjoern@hoehrmann.de · http://bjoern.hoehrmann.de Weinh.
