SVG12: Events and Scripting

Dear Scalable Vector Graphics Working Group,

  http://www.w3.org/TR/2004/WD-SVG12-20041027/events.html section 16.2,

[...]
  As SVG 1.2 supports DOM Level 3 Events, which are namespaced,
  XML Events in SVG 1.2 much also allow namespaced events.
[...]

Please change the sentence such that it has a proper predicate, e.g. by
replacing "much" with "must".

[...]
  URIREFs instead of IDREFs
[...]

Please change the specification to clearly define "URIREFs".

[...]
  In this case scope object associated
  with that script element is used.
[...]

Please change the sentence such that it has a proper subject, e.g. by
replacing "scope object" with "the scope object".

In section 16.1,

[...]
  SVG implementations that load external resources through protocols
  (such as HTTP) that support transfer encoding, must accept external
  script files with gzip compression ("Transfer-Encoding: gzip" for
  HTTP).
[...]

As in my other Last Call comments, using gzip in Transfer-Encoding is
indeed possible but poorly implemented and difficult to use, this should
either be Content-Encoding or Transfer-Encoding and Content-Encoding,
depending on your response to my other comments. Please change the text
accordingly.

In section 16.4,

[...]
  The following is a replacement for section 16.5 in SVG 1.1.
[...]

It is not clear to me what this is supposed to mean. If it means that
SVG 1.2 user agents must ignore the entire section 16.5 of SVG 1.1 and
must implement the following requirements instead, please state that
explicitly. Please add text that clearly states what the implact of this
"replacement" is (e.g., the differences in processing and conformance),
and whether (and if, how exactly) this impacts SVG 1.1 user agents.

regards.
