Although SVG 1.1 and 1.2 use CSS2 selectors, not CSS3 ones.

Sure, the issue isn't the change as such (although I consider removing the ability to restyle content to be unfortunate) but rather how to reference it. Do you have the test results from the large number of SVG UAs available? it would be helpful to tie that statement to specific UAs and specific revisions, and to a specific test. -- Chris Lilley mailto:chris@w3.org Chair, W3C SVG Working Group Member, W3C Technical Architecture Group
