On further investigation, I have discovered that I could import legacy SVGs with outdated markup into Inkscape and then save the result as SVG. Inkscape adds/corrects the markup and the result renders in some browsers. The result passes the W3C validation with only minimal warnings. Information to this effect could usefully figure in the validation process. The current suggestion of combining SVG headers with TRANSITIONAL is unnecessarily misleading since there does not appear to be any model for doing so -- or no examples are readily to be found. That said, the minimal warnings do not mean that all features of a legacy SVG will render in a current browser. That is a browser/SVG compatibility issue not a validation issue. -- Anthony Judge <anthony.judge@gmail.com> www.laetusinpraesens.org
