Can you demonstrate a case where one would want to (or, for that matter could) render content onto a canvas of -unknown- dimensions? Interactive pseudo-classes aren't limited to HTML or XML, especially since they aren't even reflective of the document tree. I suppose :link -was- specified with HTML in mind, but UAs for document types that don't have links can still be interoperable in every other respect---and interoperable with each other in every way. I think you're just splitting hairs here, Andrew. The conformance requirements do state that lack of a feature in a UA due to technical limitations of a platform does not make it non-conformant. Granted, they don't say anything about limitations of the document type, but that seems the implication. Perhaps they should state this explicitly, though? -- J. King http://jking.dark-phantasy.com/
