The specification clearly states that animation allows different values over time. There is no mention of a 'declaration' being allowed, only a 'value'. Please see http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-CSS2/syndata.html#syntax for the definitions of these terms. ... />> and this is indeed properly implemented in e.g. Amaya BH> and ASV6; Opera8 however fails to implement this correctly. It seems on the contrary that Opera8 is correct. BH> Please change the draft such that this is more explicit. We find the table in section "Paced animation and complex types" useful here. There is no mention of a type that includes a CSS declaration. It therefore seems to be explicit in this regard. BH> (Of course, for BH> attributeType="XML" this would not be allowed as "red!important" is not BH> a legal value for the fill attribute per the existing rules). It is not a value for either attributeType="XML or for attributeType="CSS". The difference between these two is to be found in the case where an XML attribute exists, a CSS property of the same name exists, and the CSS property is not expressed in the XML syntax as an attribute. In the case of such a clash, attributeType allows them to be differentiated. Please let us know if you do not agree with this explanation. We do not find a need to change the specification in response to this comment. However, we would be sympathetic to adding an explicit waring that the syntax you suggested above is not allowed. Please let us know if you still think such a warning would be useful. -- Chris Lilley mailto:chris@w3.org Chair, W3C SVG Working Group W3C Graphics Activity Lead Co-Chair, W3C Hypertext CG
