SVG says nothing about how >big a thumbnail should be, whether it is animated, etc. Well, it laters also says for the example "UA with snapshot support at the left, without snapshot support at the right" which clearly suggests that it may be possible for a user agent to not support "snapshot" (which should probably be 'snapshotTime'). The discussion of the example also notes that this is for a "static view" of the image and in the "WICD Core 1.0" Working Draft I see For SVG child objects, the document time used for rendering a frozen or static image shall be that given by the SVG 'snapshotTime' attribute. If no 'snapshotTime' is present in the animation, a document time of zero (0) must be used. It seems the SVG Tiny 1.2 Working Draft should require this behavior whenever implementations render a graphic into a static context; that would make the feature not optional and address my concern. -- Björn Höhrmann · mailto:bjoern@hoehrmann.de · http://bjoern.hoehrmann.de Weinh.
