Quoting Jon Ferraiolo <jonf@adobe.com>: > [...] Thanks for clearing up the thing regarding coordination between the working groups. The problem with unitless length "within SVG context" is that CSS does not solely apply to SVG, yet you want to use a single parser. It gets even more complicated in compound documents. Also, the CSS WG has its own ideas with <number>. See for example <http://www.w3.org/TR/2002/WD-css3-box-20021024/#the-width>. Therefore I think they consider it to be unacceptable for other WGs to extend their language in such a drastic way. The SVG WG could have required units in CSS context and let authors omit them in the presentational XML attribute equivalents of those properties. This might still be a possibility as I heard multiple claims that no-one uses CSS with SVG anyway and quite a few people using SVG rather saw CSS to be deprecated... -- Anne van Kesteren <http://annevankesteren.nl/>
