Great to see it

A few typos etc.

The java example in
http://www.w3.org/TR/2004/WD-SVG12-20040226/#xmlevents-integration

Still contains an xml:base.

The post example in
http://www.w3.org/TR/2004/WD-SVG12-20040226/#urlrequest-interface

// code for today's postURL:
function postURL( url, body, callback ) {
  var req = createURLRequest();
  req.addEventListener( "URLResponse", callback, false );
  req.init("POST",url);
  req.requestText = body;
  req.submit();
}

Also it's not a duplication of postURL since it doesn't pass the same 
informatoin back to the callbacks the same, or include encoding and stuff, How 
to make a post request would be fine.

The example svg in
http://www.w3.org/TR/2004/WD-SVG12-20040226/#progress-event
contains:
progressBar.setAttributeNS(svgNS, "width", 0);

As logical as that is to my mind, it's not right :-)

Also the sample and text includes "evt.progress", but the IDL, and attributes 
description doesn't, just a loaded and a total.

Like much of the current draft, this is very good, but shouldn't it be 
something the DOM WG are improving?
