Hello, a) I would like to suggest to add the attributes requiredFormats and requiredFonts from SVG tiny 1.2. Those can be pretty useful for authors for conditional processing, especially requiredFormats to provide fallbacks, if a viewer does not interprete a specific format. b) Why is externalResourcesRequired removed? This can be quite useful for authors to stop/avoid unintended progressive rendering as already explained in SVG tiny 1.2. Progressing rendering can be quite annoying, especially if there is animation in a huge file. I suggest to add the section about progressive rendering from SVG tiny 1.2 instead of removing the attribute... Alternative it could be even more useful to provide an option for authors to explicitly deactivate the behaviour of progressive rendering, if they think, this will be suboptimal for the presentation of a document. c) I would like to suggest to add XLink:href to foreignObject as already available in SVG tiny 1.2 and to align the explanations in the extensibility chapter with SVG tiny 1.2. Especially it should be noted, that if an extension has a namespace as XHTML or MathML, this should be used as a value of requiredExtensions. Else it is not obvious, what authors should note, that use agents may understand. Furthermore, if XLink:href is added, it could be a good idea to add some IRIs with fragment identifiers for popular formats without a namespace, that authors can use them with requiredExtensions and viewers can understand them - alternatively of course requiredExtensions could be often better replaced by requiredFormats, once this is added to the SVG 2 draft.
