The fact that the SVG interfaces use a method rather than indexes to access elements is a silly legacy detail.

I somehow doubt that. The behavior of the SVG DOM in WebKit shouldn’t changed depending on the root document. Do you have an example? Beside that, yes SVG2 will allow list[i]. Greetings, Dirk > I was pleasantly surprised. Can one expect that such would nowadays also work across browsers in a pure SVG document, or is this just an artifact of being nestled amidst the HTML5 DOM? > > Cheers > David > > >
