Will there be duplicate DOM properties? Will xlink:href take precedence to avoid breaking existing content? Has the new solution been reviewed to ensure that it doesn't introduce issues like id/xml:id or lang/xml:lang dual mechanisms? (id/xml:id is different, because IDness is special, and lang/xml:lang is different, because you can't represent xml:lang in text/html. I'm not saying that xlink:href/href comes with similar issues, but it would be good to make sure ahead of time that it doesn't.) >>> 2) we add a new element, like<link>, to SVG (I've already shown >>> that this >>> sometimes works when the<link> is in the XHTML NS [1], but that >>> isn't >>> specified anywhere, and isn't intuitive) For <link> in SVG namespace, it's important to consider the backwards compat story with legacy UAs in the SVG-in-text/html case. > The <param> element would be used, for example, as a child of the > <use> or <animation> elements, where it's referencing other SVG > files which can take parameters.
