So when you say you | don't need it, | you really mean you need the functionality, but provide it in a way | that is not compatible with SVG 1.1 or other W3C Recommendations. SVG Full 1.1 did indeed require complete support for DOM Level 2 Views, but SVG Tiny 1.1 did not have scripting, and so did not have a DOM. SVG Tiny 1.2 does allow scripting, so it supports a proper subset of DOM2 that does not require AbstractView. If this does not satisfy your concern, please respond within 2 weeks with further clarification. Thanks- Doug, on behalf of the SVG WG
