The group has reviewed your comments and has the following response. AG> 3. Fixed Points vs Float Points AG> Most mobile devices on the market use CLDC Java that does not have AG> floating point numbers. What do you think about to have also the same AG> SVG Tiny 1.2 DOM API with fixed-point numbers? The choice of float for the interfaces was made in coordination with JSR226. Many implementations will convert that to fixed point and to keep the API simple it is defined as float. The limited precision and range of fixed point numbers is specifically allowed in the conformance section of the SVG Tiny 1.2 specification (for example, an arbitrary precision number specified in the SVG source may be conformantly returned by the uDOM, rounded to what will fit into a 16 bit fixed point number). Implementations may thus use fixed point internally if desired and still be conformant. Please let us know if this response is not satisfactory. -- Chris Lilley mailto:chris@w3.org Chair, W3C SVG Working Group W3C Graphics Activity Lead
