Perhaps that should be made clear in the naming. Yes, you do talk about the current SVG document fragment of a node. Are you suggesting the name of this term should change? > > "language and" above is redundant, I think. Perhaps but, I think this is needed to make it clear that only the elements defined by the W3C SVG language are acceptable. > > It seems that there can be no "current SVG document fragment" for a > node (eg if its parent is not in the SVG namespace). Perhaps this > should be said explicitly? Yes, thats what I believe. How's this: current SVG document fragment The current SVG document fragment of a element is the XML document sub-tree which starts with the ancestor 'svg' <cid:part1.06080305.01090602@cisra.canon.com.au> element. For this to be a valid current SVG document fragement all container elements between the 'svg' <cid:part1.06080305.01090602@cisra.canon.com.au> and this element must be elements in the SVG language and namespace. > >> SVG document fragment >> >> The XML document sub-tree which starts with an 'svg' >> element.
