Dear Ian, Such an extreme message does not help the discussion. Besides, in the paragraph 2 of the section you quote, I read: "All chapters are normative except for specific sections marked as being informative. " The sentence I quoted was in an unmarked, hence normative paragraph. At best, there is a contradiction in the SVG spec. But it is *not* as clear as you both pretend.
