Section 7.1 Introduction [to Coordinate Systems, Transformations and Units] states that user agents are provided with three items of information (given in the bulleted list in that section). However, this does not appear to be necessarily a true statement. In particular, there does not seem to be any requirement anywhere that leads to this statement being true. The 7.1 Introduction section refers to 7.2 The initial viewport, possibly implying that that section defines where the information from these bullet points arises. However, section 7.2 is also free from any conformance requirements that would result in this, except for the one requirement that does indeed result in this when the SVG is in a CSS context. Please correct chapter 7 sections 7.1 and 7.2 as follows. Either: 1. Remove the large amounts of non-normative, confusing, and potentially incorrect prose, leaving merely the one normative requirement and optionally a clear description of its consequences, or 2. Rephrase the sections such that they have precise conformance requirements for the case where SVG is used in a CSS context (the one current conformance requirement handles this correctly and can be kept) and the case where CSS is not used (e.g. because SVG is being used in a standalone context); then, remove all the confusing text that asserts or describes the consequences of the (currently largely implied) model. -- Ian Hickson U+1047E )\._.,--....,'``. fL http://ln.hixie.ch/ U+263A /, _.. \ _\ ;`._ ,.
