Chris, Would it be possible to extend the use of switch to title and desc? this would have some significant internationalisation benefits in respect of Accessibility. the 1.1 spec allows for switch in the case of text: http://www.w3.org/TR/SVG/i18n.html#I18nTextSubstitution (an alternative formate might be as used in metadata: <title xml:lang="es"> or similar, though this may not avoid the use of a switch method.) a workaround demonstration is available here: http://www.peepo.co.uk/launch/index.svg for various reasons this currently only works in asv afaik. eg title text is displayed in a tooltip, or label using the OS language if available, it currently defaults to English. my apologies if: this has already been dealt with elsewhere, I have not found a reference to any changes in the draft. or if this is too fundamental a change to be adopted for the 1.2 draft. regards Jonathan Chetwynd http://www.peepo.co.uk "It's easy to use" irc://freenode/accessibility
