Note that this is > different from defaulting attributes in the DOM. Sorry, I meant, it can't default XML's attributes. The XML spec says what it means to not give the attribute, and what it means to give the attribute with the value "preserve" or the value "default". If the SVG spec changes this, then it is no longer possible to use an off-the-shelf XML parser to process SVG, and the whole point of using XML is lost. (Currently the spec is ok in this regard for xml:space, it seems.) (By asking that this be taken as last-call feedback I merely meant that should be considered in the context of Maciej's suggestion, sorry for any confusion caused.) -- Ian Hickson U+1047E )\._.,--....,'``. fL http://ln.hixie.ch/ U+263A /, _.. \ _\ ;`._ ,.
