Hi, Björn- Bjoern Hoehrmann wrote: | | http://www.w3.org/TR/2005/WD-SVGMobile12-20050413/svgudom.html notes | for e.g. getFloatTrait the method will raise an exception "if | requested | trait's computed value cannot be converted to a float"; it's not clear | what this means (any string can be converted to a IDL float), please | change the draft such that it is clear whether these methods | can return | e.g. NaN. If it can, there seems no point in throwing this exception. Thanks for pointing out this error. As you correctly assert, NaN is a IEEE-754 float value. I have changed the text to say: "TYPE_MISMATCH_ERR: Raised if requested trait's computed value is returned as a non-numeric float value (e.g. NaN)." However, because it is a Signalling NaN, we have retained the throwing of an exception. If this does not satisfy your concern, please let us know right away. Thanks- Doug, on behalf of the SVG WG
