nikosandronikos has just created a new issue for https://github.com/w3c/svgwg: == Cut down number of categories == Related to #229, this is general issue about tidying up the categories used in SVG 2. I did some analysis of how (and how much) the categories are used. There's roughly three types of use: * Used to define content model * Used in prose * Used for defining which elements a property applies to The summary is in this [spreadsheet in Google Sheets](https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1GaT2yDJ7pPcFn1RVKzghuyF29MY1n0Sv3Y0rwqlxP_Q/edit?usp=sharing). Hopefully this can help us make decisions on which categories to consider removing. It looks like the following categories would be the first to look at removing: * graphics referencing * text content child * never rendered * renderable * markable Markable is just 'shapes', but is used in the painting chapter (and probably the markers spec). Text content child is not much more succinct than 'tspan and textPath', and we always have to follow up with 'a element that is a child of a text element' as well. Thoughts?
