viralipurbey has just created a new issue for https://github.com/w3c/svgwg: == `SVGAngle.animVal.unitType` during animation between different units is unspecified == When animating an angle between two different units, e.g. orient from="0deg" to="200grad" , the spec doesn't say what `animVal.unitType` should report during the animation. ``` <animate attributeName="orient" from="0deg" to="200grad" dur="4s"/> ``` The value is well defined and continuous; only the reported unit is ambiguous. The WPT svgangle-animation-unitType.html(https://wpt.fyi/results/svg/animations/svgangle-animation-unitType.html?label=master&label=experimental&aligned&q=svgangle-animation-unitType) expects it to switch from `deg` to `grad` past the midpoint, but per wpt.fyi no engine passes it. Could we define this? My preference is to always report the canonical unit ( deg ), consistent with CSS `<angle>` interpolation (canonical-unit) but the main ask is just that some interoperable behavior be specified. https://www.w3.org/TR/css-values-4/#canonical-unit Please view or discuss this issue at https://github.com/w3c/svgwg/issues/1146 using your GitHub account -- Sent via github-notify-ml as configured in https://github.com/w3c/github-notify-ml-config
