The WebCGM WG has the following responses to your comment:
----------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY of your comment:

>The getObjectExtent() wording says:"... Other than text attributes and 
>Style Properties, the calculation is not affected by CGM Primitive 
>Attribute (such as line width) or Control elements, nor by APS Attributes 
>or Style Properties ..."  Isn't that a contradiction regarding Style 
>Properties? Do Style Properties affect the calculations, yes or no?

RESPONSE to your comment:

>Replace the subject text in 5.7.6 (getObjectExtent description) with the 
>following: "Other than text attributes and text-related Style Properties, 
>the calculation is not affected by CGM Primitive Attribute (such as line 
>width) or Control elements, nor by APS Attributes or non-text Style 
>Properties..."   [Also fix the link fragments in that section of text, 
>which are all missing (empty, "#").]
