I think it's wrong to say that Tiny doesn't "support" style sheets -- it's just that like HTML, it is orthogonal to style sheets. There's no particular reason why a UA couldn't support SVG Tiny and CSS at the same time, just like it can support HTML and CSS at the same time. That's the advantage of orthogonal specs. Indeed it is the reason why people have been asking for the SVG spec to not do wholesale import(-and-modify) of XML Events and xml:id and other specs -- just let each spec stand on its own and UAs can decide which specs to implement and which to not. This then leaves the CDF group, e.g., with the responsibility of creating canonical profiles that authors can use to work out which sets of specs are likely to be implemented together. -- Ian Hickson U+1047E )\._.,--....,'``. fL http://ln.hixie.ch/ U+263A /, _.. \ _\ ;`._ ,.
