Hi Doug and Chris,

Given that you are both looking into making improvements to the SVG RNG, I 
thought I would take the opportunity to let you know what information is being 
used from the definitions file to generate the attribute table in the 
integration specification. It may be possible, as you both suggest, to add this 
information to the RNG and then use the RNG to generate the tables.

The data used from the definitions file by the script which generates the 
attribute tables is:
'name', 'href', 'attributecategories', 'attributes' from <element>
'name', 'href' from <attribute> that is a child of <element>
'name' from <attributecategory>
'name', 'href' from <attribute> that is a child of <attributecategory>
'name', 'href' from <attribute> that is a child of <definitions>

Note that XSLTs are used to mine the information from the definitions file. The 
information is placed in a format that is understood by the Perl script.

If you need any information on how the table is being built from the data please 
let me know.

Thanks,

Anthony
