It seems that > the link checker doesn't deal with SVG. Can you confirm? Confirmed. The link checker currently parses only text/html, application/xhtml+xml, application/vnd.wap.xhtml+xml, text/css, and text/html-sandboxed documents. > Is there some effort underway to fix this? Not really that I know of. But I have some very rough local perl code on which I've last hacked over a year ago whose goal is to modularize link extraction from different types of documents, but there's no XML support in it yet either. > How would I contribute? The first thing would be to add XML (with at least xml:base) parsing and basic link extraction support, then document type such as specific functionality. The current link checker code is not that well prepared/documented for adding support for new document types. The commit which added initial CSS (standalone and embedded in HTML) support to it can give some ideas though: http://dvcs.w3.org/hg/link-checker/rev/bb26d957084a
