Yes, clearly that bit of direction would be helpful.

Clearly false, as Anne already made some test cases and there are already implementations that pass them. BB> And that would keep CSS 2.1 from exiting CR. No, it wouldn't. So, please add specific language to CSS 2.1 to state explicitly that xml:id is treated as ID for the purpose of the # selector. Preferably before last call, although I can send in a last call comment if you would prefer. -- Chris Lilley mailto:chris@w3.org Chair, W3C SVG Working Group W3C Graphics Activity Lead
