10.2 "It is possible to apply a gradient to text. ... object bounding box units are computed relative to the entire 'test' element in all cases..." Why have text behave different that other geometry (11.12)? 10.6.1 "Many of the features here go beyond the functionality provided by the elements in this profile..." This "tiny" specification is almost 400 pages - leave out verbarge not associated with the specification in question. 10.11 <textArea> needs an example or two. 10.11.1 "For cases where box model layout is required, it is suggest that a 'foreignObject'..." Section 10.1 says that "the exact semantics of this approach are not completely defined." 10.11.1 "The layout of wrapped text is user agent dependent..." Not good for interoperability, especially in light of having SVG defined fonts. Perhaps a "wrapping = auto | exact" attribute is needed, in the same fashion that textPath in SVG full has a spacing attribute? 10.12 It seems one of the natural uses that editable text fields might be put to is input fields, but there seems to be no way to control the "width" of a field or clip over-long content (as SVGT lacks both <clipPath> and nested <svg>). 10.12.1 "For WYSIWYG editing the following..." What should happen if current point is moved to an area not visible (overlapping geometry, text running outside the outer <svg>, etc)?
