@longsonr Apologies if that behavior indeed stabilized before webkit was forked — in which case it indeed does not indicate that two separate parties came to the same conclusion as I suggested. That said, as a developer trying to make things for people my criteria for significance in this instance is the degree to which consistent appearance and behavior can be achieved across systems. Safari is effectively the only browser that runs on iOS and the main browser for macOS users. Chrome is the default browser on Android devices and has large share of users on desktop PC. The fact that Chrome and Safari have a consistent behavior means that I can consistently deliver a consistent experience across many different platforms. That fact is not insignificant. Moreover, if that behavior stabilized before webkit was forked, then the existence of some cross-platform consistency has been the case since ~2013, which itself is notable to me. -- GitHub Notification of comment by IanBellomy Please view or discuss this issue at https://github.com/w3c/svgwg/issues/367#issuecomment-640227108 using your GitHub account
