Hi Patrick, --Original Message--: >Thanks Robert; I missed that point; so let me continue the clarifications :) > >1. Do markers have SVGElementInstances? (No) >2. Does the parent element receive the events? (No) > { If Yes, do they fire for stroke-only, fill-only, or both? (this one I cannot figure out) > 3.

Don't you want the line and its markers to render for example. the hover style? What the spec. says is what a number of viewers do. I remember this being a pain point when we did a Full implementation about 6 or 7 years ago. I agree that the logical thing would be at the point of instantiation but I can't remember the reasoning for it being the way it is. I think you'll find ASV might, but Corel's viewer definitely exhibited that behaviour. Perhaps someone can shed some light on the original reasoning, since it never made sense to me either.
