We will discuss it in the Working Group, and i have already contacted jwatt with a view to including his test, or one derived from it, in the test suite. Can you explain your rationale for throwing away objects rather than reusing them? Is it more efficient to have the objects be immutable, for instance, and does that mitigate the efficiency lost by object creation and disposal? -- Chris Lilley mailto:chris@w3.org Chair, W3C SVG Working Group W3C Graphics Activity Lead Co-Chair, W3C Hypertext CG
