Hello, The SVG Working Group is pleased to announce the availability of a snapshot draft of SVG 1.2. http://www.w3.org/TR/2004/WD-SVG12-20040226 This document shows ongoing work, and is published now to get early feedback and to give a document for the SVG WG face to face meeting next week. Portions are known to be incomplete; we anticipate a new draft in a few weeks time. Please see in particular the 'status of this document' section: > This document is the fifth public working draft of the SVG 1.2 > specification. It lists the areas of new work in version 1.2 of SVG > and is not a complete language description. The SVG Working Group > consider the feature set of SVG 1.2 to be approaching stability. > However, there are some cases where the descriptions in this > document are incomplete and simply show the current thoughts of the > SVG Working Group on the feature, or list the open issues. > Therefore, this document should not be considered stable. > > The SVG Working Group planned for this release to be a nearly > complete draft of the SVG 1.2 language. However, the Group chose to > publish an incomplete draft now in order to get public feedback on > the new features as soon as possible. The sixth public Working Draft > of SVG 1.2 is tentatively scheduled for publication in two weeks > time. See the list of features expected to be included in that > release. See also the changelog: http://www.w3.org/TR/2004/WD-SVG12-20040226/#changes and the plans for the next draft: http://www.w3.org/TR/2004/WD-SVG12-20040226/#nextdraft We encourage you to look at the new RelaxNG Schema for SVG 1.2 http://www.w3.org/TR/2004/WD-SVG12-20040226/#rng-schema http://www.w3.org/Graphics/SVG/1.2/rng/ People interested in the new DOM are encouraged to look at: 17.1 DOM Level 3 Support http://www.w3.org/TR/2004/WD-SVG12-20040226/#DOM3 17.2 Subsetting the DOM for mobile devices http://www.w3.org/TR/2004/WD-SVG12-20040226/#domsubset the link above for the overall goals and introduction, and the following link for the details of the Tiny part: http://www.w3.org/TR/SVGMobile12/#sec-udomind 17.3 Typed access to attribute values http://www.w3.org/TR/2004/WD-SVG12-20040226/#traits The next draft will complete the integration of the uDOM, DOM3, and traits; this was not completed in time for this draft. DOM 3 normalization of attribute values provides both more power and a lower implementation footprint because the string form does not need to be stored but can be computed on demand from the internal representation. -- Chris Lilley mailto:chris@w3.org Chair, W3C SVG Working Group Member, W3C Technical Architecture Group
