[SVGMobile12] Question on load events

Dear Boris,
This is the response to your Last Call comment from email
(http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-svg/2006Jan/0446.html), which
is copied at the bottom.

The load event will not trigger due to the methods you specify as they
do not add the element to the DOM tree. However, 
methods like appendNode() which do add the node to the tree must a load
event on the element which is added to the tree.
 
In reviewing your comment, the WG agrees that the description of the
load event need be improved to better clarify. The following is the
new text for the description of the load event.
 
"The event is triggered at the point at which the user agent finishes
loading the element and any dependent resources (such as images, style
sheets, or scripts). In the case the element references a script, the
event will be raised only after an attempt to interpret the script has
been made. Dependent resources that fail to load will not prevent this
event from firing if the element that referenced them is still
accessible via the DOM unless they are designated as. The event is
independent of the means by which the element was added to DOM tree."

Thanks for you feedback, please let us know shortly if you are  
unsatisfied with this answer.

Andy Sledd on behalf of the SVG WG.

Dear SVG Working Group,

The description of the load event [1] is completely in terms of parsing.
Does 
this mean that load events do not fire on nodes created via
createElementNS(), 
cloneNode(), etc?

I would much appreciate a clarification of this point,

-Boris
