I agree with Björn , "should" has a specific technical meaning (as defined in RFC 2119 (see http://www.w3.org/TR/SVGMobile12/conform.html#Terminology ) so If these are not specified, the default values of 100% are used. or If these are not specified, the default values of 100% must be used. -- Chris Lilley mailto:chris@w3.org Chair, W3C SVG Working Group W3C Graphics Activity Lead
