I'm not aware that anyone is arguing comments in presentation attributes would increase readability, but they would have to be allowed in order to align the syntaxes as CSS allows comments for instance in functional notations like rgb(/**/0,0,0), which has not been very necessary in the past, but will probably see increased usage as CSS adds new constructs that are composed of many characters, like gradients and image sets and border images and multiple background images or whatever. Authors of SVG content might prefer comments outside attributes, because making presen- tation attributes "very long" is a problem on its own, but that does not affect whether they would be allowed and parsed in presentation attri- butes. -- Björn Höhrmann · mailto:bjoern@hoehrmann.de · http://bjoern.hoehrmann.de Am Badedeich 7 · Telefon: +49(0)160/4415681 · http://www.bjoernsworld.de 25899 Dagebüll · PGP Pub.
