The model is now rather such that display="block" and display="inline" may be considered equivalent for all purposes of SVG processin, even getAttributeNS is free to return "inline" for display="block". A more correct analysis of this situation would be that this breaks backwards- compatibility with SVG 1.1 content that assumes display="block" really means display="block". In discussion around http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-svg/2005Apr/0138.html I explained in detail how the backwards-compatibility issue is a non- issue and the design flawed in any case. So this does not address my concern. And FWIW, I got the essentially same response before, http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-svg/2005Sep/0087.html The same remarks apply. -- Björn Höhrmann · mailto:bjoern@hoehrmann.de · http://bjoern.hoehrmann.de Weinh.
