See the thread starting with > http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-style/2008Jul/0428.html I guess that would solve future issues... but it involves a new spec right? My concern is that we get this specific HTML5-SVG interaction right now, so that SVG can be much more useful on regular websites in the very near future. Since the problem area is Firefox, I thought maybe I could file a bug report and take care of this issue that way. However, I am not clear on the specs and whether I should file a report. According to here (http://www.w3.org/TR/SVG11/struct.html#SVGElement) pointer-events is a property of the svg tag. According to here (http://www.w3.org/TR/SVG11/interact.html#PointerEventsProperty) pointer-events is not a property of the svg tag since svg is not part of the graphical elements group. In fact, this is what you said in another email. So, does this actually mean a browser should not support pointer-events for the svg tag within a html document? I was considering filing a report for Firefox about not supporting pointer-events:painted for the svg tag inside an html document. P.S. I know, I should probably switch to the implementations mailing list soon, but I just want to confirm a few things about the spec before I start doing testcases and bugreports. :)
