Please act according to your opinion and stick to your strategy (which seems to involve invalid documents), I did not tell you otherwise. > do you really expect an author to develop a custom DTD to meet > validity constraints which even the WG don't believe are useful. Where did I say that I would expect anyone to do anything? There are pros and cons to both strategies, I didn't tell anyone to do anything. You're free to do what you want, as is the original poster, and you'll have to respect that other people are free to do what they think is sensible as well. You seem to have heard me say lots of things I did not say, as so often. I'll say it one last time: If you are so keen on misunderstanding my posts and starting arguments by arguing against statements I didn't express then please simply ignore my posts instead, or I'll simply filter out yours. We could agree to disagree, but that doesn't seem to be what you want. > Neither of these things are the reason why it currently fails in > Batik, I get nothing but a huge error message popup with Squiggle, this seemed to try to tell me that that's the reason why it doesn't display the SVG. I don't know what the reason is why it failed in Squiggle, and I didn't and won't speculate about that. All I did was providing feedback to the developer of the SVG by providing an error message by Squiggle, error messages by a validator (invalidity is a potential problem when a viewer fails, I won't argue about that fact), plus a reference to the spec regarding the CSS error. I tried to help the original poster, that's all. > it's the reliance on ASV extensions that is doing it, We agree that this is a problem. Tobi -- http://www.pinkjuice.com/
