We will get back to you. Remember its the direct children of switch that are evaluated, not al ancestors, so the only way to get this situation is to bind to switch itself. My personal feeling is that the core DOM tree rather than the fully flattened tree is the right one to use. -- Chris Lilley mailto:chris@w3.org Chair, W3C SVG Working Group Member, W3C Technical Architecture Group
