It seems cleaner to me to state that, when an SVG images is used as a CSS background image rather than as foreground content, it receives no pointer or keyboard events. Thus - links cannot be traversed - animations that use such events do not start, etc implementations can choose to optimise for the case where they know that the SVG is never going to get any user-initiated events. -- Chris Lilley mailto:chris@w3.org Chair, W3C SVG Working Group W3C Graphics Activity Lead
