Following other comments, we distinguish between Charmod Fundamentals (a W3C Rec, and a normative reference) and Charmod Normalization (a W3C Working Draft, and an informative reference). Looking at http://www.w3.org/TR/2005/REC-charmod-20050215/#sec-Conformance there is a four point list of how to conform: Specifications conform to this document if they: 1. do not violate any conformance criteria preceded by [S], 2. document the reason for any deviation from criteria where the imperative is SHOULD, SHOULD NOT, or RECOMMENDED, 3. make it a conformance requirement for implementations to conform to this document, 4. make it a conformance requirement for content to conform to this document. After review, we believe that we already conform to point 1 and have nothing to document for point 2. We agree that we did not conform to points 3 and 4 and have corrected this as follows: For point 3, we added this to Conforming SVG Interpreters (thus also covering Conforming SVG Viewers) <p>A <em>Conforming SVG Interpreter</em> must conform to all applicable 'I' conformance criteria in Character Model for the World Wide Web 1.0: Fundamentals [<a href="refs.html#ref-CHARMOD">CHARMOD</a>].</p> For point 4, we added the following to Conforming SVG Document Fragments: <li>Conforms to all applicable 'C' conformance criteria in Character Model for the World Wide Web 1.0: Fundamentals [<a href="refs.html#ref-CHARMOD">CHARMOD</a>]</li> this also covers Conforming SVG Generators which are already required to generate conforming content. The paragraph from which you quoted an objectionable sentence now reads as follows: <p>SVG generators are encouraged to follow <a href="http://www.w3.org/International/">W3C developments in the area of internationalization</a> such as Character Model for the World Wide Web 1.0: Normalization [<a href="refs.html#ref-CHARMOD-norm">CHARMOD-norm</a>] Future versions of the SVG specification may require support of that specification in Conforming SVG Generators.</p> Björn, please let us know shortly if these changes do not resolve your comment. Richard, if you spot anything we missed, please let us know. -- Chris Lilley mailto:chris@w3.org Chair, W3C SVG Working Group W3C Graphics Activity Lead Co-Chair, W3C Hypertext CG
