Dean, The continued use of mouse events in examples as for instance: http://www.w3.org/TR/SVG12/painting.html#overlay-example is a concern. This example particularly relevant as there has been lengthy and unresolved discussions around accessible drop down lists in the html/css/script communities. The example appears to assume mouse skills, together with drag skills, which many find difficult to impossible*. Would it be helpful if there was a more detailed explanation of event handling in the SVG1.2 document with an example, maybe using a keyboard to navigate a drop-down list? if so, could we please up date this and other examples to demonstrate the improved XML event handling being offered? http://www.w3.org/TR/SVG12/events.html#handler-element regards Jonathan Chetwynd http://www.peepo.co.uk "It's easy to use" irc://freenode/accessibility *It is also not coherent, as one cannot make a selection, the mouse must be down to see the list. perhaps onmouseover, with option to click for list, with an X to dismiss, and click again to select. plus keyboard access. drop down lists aren't a simple concept, so one cannot expect to have a simple demonstration, that is accessible.
