Dear Scalable Vector Graphics Working Group, In http://www.w3.org/TR/2004/WD-SVG12-20041027/api.html the printNode and parseXML methods on the SVGGlobal interface do not make much sense to me. For parseXML for example it is not clear what happens if the string is not well-formed XML or whether the DOMConfiguration of the Document is honored when parsing the string. In fact, it's not even clear whether the method expects an XML document or an external parsed entity or something else. The same goes for printNode, it is not clear whether DOMConfiguration is honored, what happens if the Node is not serializable, how different node types are serialized, if an element node is serialized, whether all attributes are serialized or only specified attributes, whether it is acceptable for implementations to add computed attribute values, whether text content is NFC normalized, whether white-space nodes may be added or removed if those do not change the semantics of the document, and so on and on and on... Please change the draft such that all of this is well-defined. regards. -- Björn Höhrmann · mailto:bjoern@hoehrmann.de · http://bjoern.hoehrmann.de Weinh.
