Personally I feel that always using CDATA marked sections for script, style, and handler makes sense, in the SVG spec, since examples will be copied and adapted; the additions might require escaping and its simpler for hand authors if this is already dealt with. However, implementations must deal with both cases - CDATA present and CDATA not present. The SVG specification merely defers to the XML specification on this matter. -- Chris Lilley mailto:chris@w3.org Chair, W3C SVG Working Group W3C Graphics Activity Lead Co-Chair, W3C Hypertext CG
