RE: Error processing

I would assume it is OK to drop the document on the floor, but
preferable to render what you can (in either case with a highly visible
indication of error).

Yes, an erratum for SVG 1.1 seems appropriate to me. I am not sure about
the timing of that erratum. Maybe we want to wait for implementation
feedback on the new approach before casting in bronze an erratum for SVG
1.1.

Hi Jon.

Thanks for your ever helpful clarifications.

Ok.  So that means the rendering could be anything once the document has
an error?  Is the implementation required to continue processing
anything in the document once there is an error?  If not, then I guess
the easiest thing to do is to drop the document on the floor.

Will an erratum for 1.1 detailing these error processing changes be
produced?

Thanks,

Cameron
