Re: errata? weather.svgz#sunny

Cameron,

once again thanks so much for your rapid response, however...

is this supported in UAs?
I haven't been able to create anything to demonstrate this working in  
squiggle or opera

I'm really concerned by this, primarily there's no examples, so I'm  
confused.
in <svg:use>  xlink:href='http://www.peepo.org.uk/icon-ark/weather-icons.svgz/#sunnyi'
will only point to - and display - the single symbol with id #sunny.
is it correct that this symbol would never be displayed? it's a  
symbol, that's a version of my original errata query

i used this file: http://www.peepo.org.uk/icon-ark/weather-icons.svgz
i added a new id="vsunny"

then tried: file:/Users/jonathanchetwynd/Desktop/weather.svg#vsunny
but this is merely the default.

also tried:
file:/Users/jonathanchetwynd/Desktop/ 
weather.svg#vsunny(viewBox(0,0,200,200))

<symbol id="sunny" viewBox="0 0 150 150"  >
<title>sunny</title>
  <g style="stroke-width:7;stroke:#ff0">
<line x1="22" y1="75" x2="39" y2="75" transform="rotate(-20, 75, 75)" />

<line x1="22" y1="75" x2="39" y2="75" transform="rotate(244, 75, 75)" />
<line x1="22" y1="75" x2="39" y2="75" transform="rotate(268, 75, 75)" />
<line x1="22" y1="75" x2="39" y2="75" transform="rotate(292, 75, 75)" />
<line x1="22" y1="75" x2="39" y2="75" transform="rotate(316, 75, 75)" />

<circle cx="75" cy="75" r="25" fill="#ff0"/>
   </g>
</symbol>

<use xlink:href="#sunny" x="33%" y="72%" width="15%" height="30%"  
id="vsunny"/>

there are a few other things, but better take small steps...

eg: with use-external this seems very confusing requirement to  
duplicate ids.

cheers
