Well, to be honest, I think, this red draft banner on the CR from 2018 was a bug itself, it is still intended to become a recommendation, but there was never much interest in it, almost all required features https://www.w3.org/Graphics/SVG/WG/wiki/SVG2_Requirements_Input were removed before it became CR already and since then nothing much happened to get something significant new for authors or to get enough implementations for a progress. Therefore the red banner changed from an omen to a quite interesting feature of this text - see, obviously no bug fixes of reported bugs since 2018? Once SVG tiny 1.2 was the 'state of the art' at least for some viewers of mobile devices with some new features, but even most of them were removed from SVG 2. A tragedy not only for authors and the audience. At least for authors as me it is of not much use to care about SVG2. Staff from Google belong(ed) to some working groups, maybe therefore such links to recommendations to SVG 1.1 are not dominant anymore. My impression in these years was, after I was an invited expert for SVG tiny 1.2, then still active to provide suggestions for new features in SVG 2, that such companies do not want real progress in standards, they want their proprietary software to get some kind of vendor log-in. Currently there seems at least not much activity around SVG, several knows bugs in browsers, viewers remain open for 10 or more years, no new features, not even enough implementations of SVG 2 changes to get it to a recommendation. Therefore currently (again, after SVG tiny 1.2 for a few years) SVG 1.1 is state of the art and still may remain for a longer time. -- GitHub Notification of comment by Doktorchen Please view or discuss this issue at https://github.com/w3c/svgwg/issues/937#issuecomment-2041129340 using your GitHub account -- Sent via github-notify-ml as configured in https://github.com/w3c/github-notify-ml-config
