Hello www-svg, > The spec uses the term "SVG elements" repeatedly without (as far as I can > tell) defining it. Does it mean elements in the SVG namespace, elements > defined in the spec, or something else? We have added a definition of SVG element: An element within the SVG namespace defined by the SVG language specification. > Similarly, what exactly is "the 'svg' element"? Does it mean any element > with the tag name "svg"? Local name "svg"? Local name "svg" in the SVG > namespace? Something else? The revised definition now makes it clearer that 'svg' element means 'Local name "svg" in the SVG namespace'. Thus for example, assuming an in-scope namespace declaration mapping the prefix "s" to "http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" the following are SVG elements: s:path s:radialGradient s:svg but only the third one is also an 'svg' element. Please let us know shortly if this clarification does not resolve your comment. -- Chris Lilley mailto:chris@w3.org Chair, W3C SVG Working Group W3C Graphics Activity Lead Co-Chair, W3C Hypertext CG
