Re: [dom] Comments on heycam's new SVG DOM

Hi!

Here a quick thought about the following:

As a web developer I'm completely freaked out to see such element rising.
In today's web design, understanding what a view port is is a nightmare.
Because there is already the non standard meta viewport and the upcoming
@viewport rule discuss at the CSS working group and even it is not related
(I don't know yet) having a new thing called "viewport" will make things
horrible to web developer. We are already fighting hard to understand an
deal with what we call responsive web design, so please, PLEASE do not add
more complexity and clumsy things. If possible try to sort this out on a
more general level. And if SVG needs something to define an internal
viewport, please, name it otherwise.

Best,
