There do need to be implementations for a spec to exit the CR phase. JavaScript-based prototyping often precedes the native implementation phase. dzn> 4.

It would be helpful if you indicated which images are broken and in which browser (name/version/os) you see them as broken, and what symptoms of brokenness you observe. Checking just now in Firefox (minefield 4.0b12pre, WinXP) I see nine images, which have the expected content. -- Chris Lilley Technical Director, Interaction Domain W3C Graphics Activity Lead, Fonts Activity Lead Co-Chair, W3C Hypertext CG Member, CSS, WebFonts, SVG Working Groups
