Consider the following markup (assuming that the "svg" and "xlink" namespace prefixes are bound to the relevant namespaces): <svg:image xlink:href="something.png" xlink:show="replace" xlink:actuate="onload"/> It would seem to me that correct behavior here for a UA that supports both SVG and XLink would be to replace the page with something.png when this is parsed (as required by the XLink specification), while the correct behavior for a UA that supports SVG but not XLink would be to do whatever the description of <svg:image> says. Is that correct? Note that I don't think the spec needs changes in this regard, since the XLink specification is very clear on what the behavior should be in this case. But I just want to make sure that there are no assumptions that the XLink description of what should happen is obviated by the fact that SVG describes additional semantics for <svg:image>. -Boris
