Which in itself is a bit confusing for 'end' since the above sentence is only found in the section named 'Begin value semantics'[1]. > The current SVG spec says: > "If the 'begin' attribute is syntactically invalid, in the list itself or in any of the individual list values, it is equivalent to a single 'begin' value of 'indefinite'." That is what is tested in animate-elem-225-t.svg. Right. > I don't see a similar text for the 'end' attribute in the SVG spec? Is there also a test for that? We should probably have one, and add text to clarify this case. Since 'end' doesn't have a lacuna value I propose the following be added to the definition of the 'end' attribute: "If the 'end' attribute is syntactically invalid, in the list itself or in any of the individual list values, the 'end' attribute must be treated as having an unsupported value." The spec more or less already says this, but it may be that a user agent treats individual list values as valid as the spec stands now.
