SVG claims to be accessible, which means that non-visual browsers (as well as non-GUI image viewers##) may try to render more than the text. Is not the CSS2 "overflow" property relevant here. > [DJW:] ++ Although NS 6 seems to use its own widgets. ## This could include the full screen mode of image viewers running under a GUI, as well as image viewers running without an underlying GUI. == Taking things to extremes, maybe, I could conceive of a viewer that monitored brain activity to determine when to scroll.
