Hi Dr. Hoffmann, The SVG Working Group discussed ISSUE-2081 and we agreed that your wording should replace the current wording in the specification. As a result i was given ACTION-2288 [1] to carry out the fixes to the specification. The new wording can be found in the "Attributes to identify the target element for an animation" section [2] of the specification. Please advise the SVG Working Group if you have any further comments or feedback regarding this issue. Kind Regards, Anthony [1] http://www.w3.org/Graphics/SVG/WG/track/actions/2288 [2] http://dev.w3.org/SVG/profiles/1.2T/master/animate.html#TargetElement Doug Schepers wrote: > Hi, Dr. Olaf- > > Thanks for your comment.
