I provided text that says what a title is, and you say that > doesn't help. Perhaps you could explain your point again. The question is exactly what text string is the title. For example, in these snippets (none of which are "in error"): <svg:title> Hello World </svg:title> <svg:title> Hello <svg:defs>World</svg:defs> </svg:title> <svg:title> <html:p>Hello World</html:p> </svg:title> <svg:title> Hello <html:noscript>World</html:noscript> </svg:title> ...what should the UA use as the text? I mean, please give the exact literal string that a conformant UA would put in the application's title bar, or in a tooltip, or wherever it puts the title. The same applies to <desc> and the description. -- Ian Hickson U+1047E )\._.,--....,'``. fL http://ln.hixie.ch/ U+263A /, _.. \ _\ ;`._ ,.
