Olaf, I am grateful for your many attempts to understand the issues I raise. your solution also appears excellent, though the method isn't clear to me directly**. my concern is whether a child can use SVG authoring tools, unaided. Tuxpaint, iSketch, msPaint and very many other tools already provide this facility for raster painting. A child who can use scissors and paper, and understands the GUI icons and method used to represent this process. A child has much experience of stretchy substances, and does not require to understand percentage values. similarly someone not versed in SVG can understand much by reviewing code samples. however, the representation of holes in an SVG document is perhaps more complex than strictly necessary. the reality that output is frequently accurate to 12 significant figures, where 3 or maybe 5 would be sufficient, greatly hinders ready comprehension. It's my contention that to define and create such an authoring tool, an SVG specification has to be designed with this in mind. The evidence being that there isn't such a tool after a decade. regards Jonathan Chetwynd Accessibility Consultant on Media Literacy and the Internet **would a reduced testcase similar to Jeff's help clarify your method?
