Hello,
the linking chapter in svg2 mentions xpointer in context of the viewSpec
syntax[1]. Is xpointer support something that we might want to consider
dropping from svg2?
Note that only the most trivial form of xpointer was ever required AFAICT,
#xpointer(id('exampleID')), which has a simpler xpointer-less equivalent
#exampleID.
I made a test[2] to check if browsers supported the xpointer syntax for
views as described in the spec, and the results are as follows:
Supported:
- Opera 12.17 (Presto)
Not supported:
- Firefox Nightly 34
- Chrome 39/Opera 25
- IE11
