Dirk and heycam's replies to your original e-mail here suggest that this is not really viable. I mean, it'd be like changing document.title in HTML to point to the first title="" attribute in the document if it came before the first <title>. Anyway, what the spec ended up saying is in some ways even simpler, since it only looks one level deep for SVG rather than doing a deep tree search. (Is this the kind of change that you would have liked pre-flighted? I can revert the change and put out an announcement if you like. I'm not yet sure I exactly understand what kinds of changes fall into this category.) -- Ian Hickson U+1047E )\._.,--....,'``. fL http://ln.hixie.ch/ U+263A /, _.. \ _\ ;`._ ,.
