Well, trait getters on properties are essentially defined to return the computed property value as defined in section 6.7 of the draft; the com- puted value for display="block" is the specified value "block" so if an implementation returns "inline" it will either not return the computed value (which does not seem to be allowed) or the computed value of the property is "inline" (which is not defined in the draft either). I do not think SVG Tiny 1.2 should re-define the computed value of the display property as that would be incompatible with SVG 1.1 and CSS, and I see no reason for the trait getters to return something but the computed property value, that would just make the model more complex and cause various other problems, so I do not think implementations should be allowed to return "inline" for display="block". As I think the draft does not allow implementations to do that anyway, your changes to the trait table without the comment above would address my concern. -- Björn Höhrmann · mailto:bjoern@hoehrmann.de · http://bjoern.hoehrmann.de Weinh.
