Good day/evening, Out of habit, I had sent the following to svg-developers, and then I realized, since it seems to be a spec thing, that this group would really be a more appropriate forum(que no?). I guess it depends to some extent on confirming my suspicion that one cannot do what I seek to do here without tweaking the spec, but then it still falls under the aegis of how best to accomplish things and that, I gather, would still be on topic? Apologies for the duplication to those of you who already saw this in svg-developers.

However, in the example at http://srufaculty.sru.edu/david.dailey/svg/newstuff/textpath1.svg as seen in IE/ASV, I've used it for a rather nice effect. Opera follows the spec, but then it doesn't allow the effect I'm interested in . So my question is if there is any way to accomplish the same sense of continuous flowing text without using negative values? Why does a negative value have to be an error? David
