It would be CM> good to have only the one definition, if they are not. I hadn't spotted that one. I agree it would be good to have just one definition. It would also be good for 1.1 and 1.2T to use the same term for the same thing. In general the 1.2T definitions are more recent, benefit from later feedback, and are to be preferred. So I would be inclined to keep rootmost svg and update uses of outermost svg. >> Index: coords.html >> … >> +<h2 id="IntrinsicSizing">Intrinsic sizing properties of the viewport of SVG content</h2> >> +<p>SVG needs to specify how to calculate some intrinsic sizing properties to >> +enable inclusion within other languages.
