Not that I can think of. The language is SVG, the baseProfile is Tiny,
and the version is 1.1. Concatenation seems the best way to describe
that - SVG Tiny 1.1.

I don't see that the limited XML support is relevant to the content. The
same DTD has been used with other processors that do not note any
particular limitations in their XML support.

Could you define "refers to" ?
