systemLanguage errata Doug & Erik, how is progress regarding the systemLanguage errata logged one year ago? http://www.w3.org/2003/01/REC-SVG11-20030114-errata#language-switch-processing It seems there may be general agreement* that language preference is desirable for the user, but without a published errata it will not be implemented. regards Please copy me in, as I am not a list subscriber at present.

Safari implements non-standard language preferences. Mozilla implements the original 1.1 standard, though the developers comments are fairly direct: "We all think the specification is silly," [1] "the spec sucks" [2] "SVG should stop sucking" [3] "The fault here is ultimately: - mostly on the SVG spec, for not doing something sensible with language" [4] "If at some future point the SVG spec changes to allow User Agents to do something more intelligent with language," [5] [1] Robert Longson https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi? id=483747#c24 [2] Mark Mentovai https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=326375#c6 [3] Smokey Ardisson https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi? id=326375#c13 [4] Stuart Morgan https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi? id=326375#c17 [5] Stuart Morgan https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi? id=326375#c28
