Hello , In this feedback http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-cdf/2006Nov/0018.html Oskari on behalf of Lasse points out that there is a copy paste error such that frozen and static have identical descriptions after the first sentence: "An <object> element <param> child element with name="render" and value="static" shall result in a static rendering. Links shall not be activatable. Animations shall not play. Modifications made by script shall update the rendering. The rendering shall also update, if the size of the rendering area changes." And "An <object> element <param> child element with name="render" and value="frozen" shall result in a one-time static rendering to a raster image. Links shall not be activatable. Animations shall not play. Modifications made by script shall update the rendering. The rendering shall also update, if the size of the rendering area changes." This conflicts with other parts of the spec; in particular it changes the meaning of static as defined by SVG and it changes the meaning of frozen (and contradicts one-time rendering) as defined in the rest of WICD. We will fix this by changing the descriptions as follows - static *does* allow link traversal, according to the definition of static in SVG which we reference, so we say so; frozen is one-shot so repeat-shots (when the rendering area changes or when scripts run) are out - they would otherwise require the original svg to be kept around rather than tossed. That gives us: "An <object> element <param> child element with name="render" and value="static" shall result in a static rendering. Links shall be activatable. Animations shall not play. Modifications made by script shall update the rendering. The rendering shall also update, if the size of the rendering area changes." And "An <object> element <param> child element with name="render" and value="frozen" shall result in a one-time static rendering to a raster image. Links shall not be activatable. Animations shall not play. Modifications made by script shall not update the rendering. The rendering shall also not update, if the size of the rendering area changes. The original SVG, once rendered, may be discarded by the client." Hopefully it is now clear in what way frozen and static differ. Sorry about the confusion this copy paste error caused. Also, the first occurrences of "static" and "dynamic" will link to the definitions of those terms in the SVG spec. Please let us know if these corrections do not address your concerns. -- Chris Lilley mailto:chris@w3.org Interaction Domain Leader Co-Chair, W3C SVG Working Group W3C Graphics Activity Lead Co-Chair, W3C Hypertext CG
