SVG 1. 1 - DTD ..possible error and section 17.4 has error and please add 17.4.1

SVG Working Group,

If you look in the DTD:
http://www.w3.org/TR/SVG11/svgdtd.html 

A.1.14 XLink Attribute Module
http://www.w3.org/TR/SVG11/svgdtd.html#DTD.1.14 

You will see that there a four attribute sets with seven attibutes 
for each attribute set

I noticed this:
it is missing 
<!ENTITY % SVG-Xlink-attrib
"%SVG.XLink.attrib;
%SVG.XLinkRequired.attrib;
%SVG.XLinkEmbed.attrib;
%SVG.XLinkReplace.attrib;
%SVG.Xlink.extra.attrib;"
>

and in the Section that explains XLink Attribute Module
http://www.w3.org/TR/SVG11/linking.html#xlink-att-mod 

you will see in the 
xlink:actuateopacity ....this and error an need to be corrected :-(

what needs to be added is xlink:href

So ...in the end the attribute section should look like this
xlink:type
xlink:role
xlink:arcrole
xlink:title
xlink:show
xlink:href
xlink:actuate
There also needs to be a subsection to 17.4:

17.4.1 XLink Attribute Set
The XLink Attribute Module defines the XLinkRefAttrs attribute set

Collection Name

xlink:type

xlink:actuate

xlink:arcrole

xlink:href
xlink:actuate

xlink:role
xlink:arcrole
xlink:title
xlink:show
xlink:href
xlink:actuate

Collection Name 
XLinkReplace

Attributes in Collection 
xlink:type
xlink:role
xlink:arcrole
xlink:title
xlink:show
xlink:href
xlink:actuate


I know this is rather technical......but it needs to be done!

We all learn by sharing what we know
