Would be fine, before such a version of a viewer is published... If you need response on broken content without automatic correction: As already mentioned, in my art gallery I use the automatic correction in combination with animation and in some other documents as well, including a publication in a wikibook and a tutorial. At least for the animated documents, no automatic correction means a lot of server sided number crunching and huge output to work around such bugs in viewers - because fx, fy and r can be animated with independent timing, the file-size of such a 'workaround' can increase by orders of magnitudes - maybe larger than WebKit can manage, if the server does user-agent version sniffing and sends the workaround. For the files without animation - well, typically there will be no server with user-agent sniffing to generate and send a workaround to WebKit. Olaf
