Hi, Browsing through the SVG specification, I noted that z-indexing (or layering) has been omitted. I believe that this is unwise. Although you can do without it for rendering, it is extremely useful for doing computations/manipulations on a per layer basis. I read in the specification that the XML working group thinks it would add too much complexity. I disagree with this prognosis. It's going to make it much more difficult for me to convert my graphcial application's file format to XML/SVG without it. Z-order is a basic attribute in 2D drawings. It should not be omitted.
