To clarify: we are talking here about the ability of an XML document to declare custom entities? Adobe software uses these (or used to) for declaring custom namespaces & such. I've had to hand-edit them out of files before running them through SVGO, because the XML parser it used didn't recognize them. I definitely agree with Dirk's general rule: we should never forbid software from supporting the full XML syntax. But it might make sense to define that certain parts of XML aren't required (just like we're saying that certain parts of CSS & SVG aren't required), and that conforming documents therefore should not use them. -- GitHub Notification of comment by AmeliaBR Please view or discuss this issue at https://github.com/w3c/svgwg/issues/672#issuecomment-484266185 using your GitHub account
