One requirement of http://www.w3.org/TR/charmod/ is that a specification must require "content conforming to the specification to conform to this document" in order to conform to charmod, SVG 1.2 does not do that (SVG 1.1 did not either) and there are thus various subtle differences wrt to conformance of authoring tools, content, etc. Charmod for example states that "Content SHOULD use the hexadecimal form of character escapes rather than the decimal form when there are both" while there is no such requirement in SVG 1.2. -- Björn Höhrmann · mailto:bjoern@hoehrmann.de · http://bjoern.hoehrmann.de Weinh.
