BigBadaboom has just created a new issue for https://github.com/w3c/svgwg: == Check whether behaviour of new CSS3 units needs clarification in SVG context == The SVG2 spec allows the use of the new CSS3 units (ch, rem, vw, vh, vmin, vmax and q), but doesn't say anything about their behaviour in an SVG context. One of them is fine as already defined: ``` ch width of the "0" (ZERO, U+0030) glyph in the element’s font ``` But the others might need clarification: ``` rem font size of the root element ``` Is this the outermost `<svg>` element or the whole document? ``` vw 1% of viewport’s width vh 1% of viewport’s height vi 1% of viewport’s size in the root element’s inline axis vb 1% of viewport’s size in the root element’s block axis vmin 1% of viewport’s smaller dimension vmax 1% of viewport’s larger dimension ``` Are we using the SVG viewport here or the entire page? And `vi` and `vb` may also need clarification re root element. The only browser I tried that appears to support these units is Chrome. It uses the HTML viewport for embedded SVG content and the `<html>` element for the "root element"-related units.
