I am not sure if we have resolved exactly how we will handle the XLink
deprecation. If we have, please feel free to remind me what we decided. :)
But I propose we:
* remove xlink:actuate, xlink:type, xlink:role, xlink:arcrole and
xlink:title altogether
* change xlink:href to href for: <a>, <altGlyph>, the animation
elements, <color-profile>, <filter>, <font-face-uri>, <glyphRef>,
gradient elements, <mpath>, <pattern>, <textPath>, <tref> and <use>
* change xlink:href to src for: <cursor>, <feImage>, <image> and <script>
* change xlink:show to target on <a>, and not allow it on any other element
* make the new attributes take precedence over the old ones, in case
both are specified
And for the moment, until we decide what to do with our more general DOM
improvements:
* have the "href" IDL attributes reflect xlink:href or href or src as
appropriate (per the precedence rule above) as an SVGAnimatedLength
* introduce an
attribute DOMString src;
on the interfaces for <cursor>, <feImage>, <image> and <script> and have
it just reflect the base value.
