Hi Ian, This is the official SVG WG response to your comment at: http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-svg/2005Dec/0297.html. Implementers and content developers have requested this feature and are satisfied with the functionality, so we are going to keep it. Also, <textArea> is not a new feature with the 3rd Last Call, so your comment is out of the scope of feedback which we have solicited. The 3rd Last Call was announced with the following words: "The purpose of this third Last Call is to allow reviewers to verify that their comments have been included as agreed by the SVG Working Group, it is not intended as a new, general review period." Thanks for your feedback. Jon Ferraiolo SVG WG -------------- From: Ian Hickson <ian@hixie.ch> Date: Wed, 28 Dec 2005 19:25:33 +0000 (UTC) To: www-svg@w3.org Message-ID: <Pine.LNX.4.62.0512281919430.7669@dhalsim.dreamhost.com> I object to the inclusion of the <textArea> feature in SVG Tiny 1.2. It appears to be no more than a poor man's HTML, dramatically lacking in semantics and presentational controls. It is already possible to achieve any effect that <textArea> introduces, using <foreignObject> and embedded content styled using CSS' rich formatting properties. Please remove the <textArea> feature from SVG Tiny 1.2. -- Ian Hickson U+1047E )\._.,--....,'``. fL http://ln.hixie.ch/ U+263A /, _.. \ _\ ;`._ ,.
