So "intrinsic size or intrinsic aspect ratio", with an > explanation of which happens when. Current text is, under the description of the height attribute: The intrinsic width of the SVG document fragment. Together with the <a href="coords.html#HeightAttribute"><span class="attr-name">'height'</span></a>, <a href="coords.html#ViewBoxAttribute"><span class="attr-name">'viewBox'</span></a> and <a href="coords.html#PreserveAspectRatioAttribute"><span class="attr-name">'preserveAspectRatio'</span></a> attributes it defines the intrinsic aspect ratio and (unless both width and height are percentages) the intrinsic size of the svg element. See <a href="coords.html#InitialViewport">the initial viewport</a>. Does that adequately convey that these attributes are used together to determine the intrinsic size? -- Chris Lilley mailto:chris@w3.org Chair, W3C SVG Working Group W3C Graphics Activity Lead Co-Chair, W3C Hypertext CG
