Hi, It looks like my mail to public-svg-wg was never posted to the www-svg mailing list. Confusing. Anyway, here it is again. Jeff ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Jeff Schiller <codedread@gmail.com> Date: Wed, Aug 5, 2009 at 8:00 AM Subject: Re: State of Implementation and Use of SVG DOM Features (was: Agenda, 5 August 2009 SVG WG telcon) To: Doug Schepers <schepers@w3.org> Cc: public-svg-wg@w3.org Hi Doug, This sounds like a great effort. A full list of all API methods/interfaces and their implementation status followed by their used status would be a very useful thing. In some cases you could instantly see that APIs may have been consistently implemented but are never used (and are therefore likely candidates for removal/simplification). This is clearly a good goal. On the other hand the used status of features may be directly related to the implemented status. In some cases we will see methods never being used and this is because they have not been consistently implemented across browsers. One example that springs to mind is getIntersectionList() and getEnclosureList(). These would be very useful features for the SVG-edit project but the only browser that implements them is Opera at the moment. > I also think it would be useful for us to make sure we have tests for all > the SVG DOM interfaces,' I think this is sorely needed and I would like to volunteer to help in this effort. I'll bring this up in the SVG IG conf call tomorrow and see if there are any more volunteers. Regards, Jeff P.S. Is there a difference between the www-svg and the public-svg-wg list? Just thought I'd ask so I can set up a new label/filter in GMail.
