Re: Linking: ID + SVGViewSpec?

Hi all

I noticed while testing an idea the other day that the fragment identifiers spec is now a little deficient, in that it assumes the other SVG is in an external document.

Given that pages containing multiple SVG elements are becoming very common.  It might be nice to be able to reference another SVG within the document and supply an SVGViewSpec.

An example use case could be:

<svg id="main-image" width="1000" height="1000" viewBox="0 0 1000 1000">
   ...
</svg>

<svg id="zoomed-detail">
  <use xlink:href="#main_image#svgView(viewBox(100,200,20,20))" width="100" height="100"/>
</svg>

Thoughts?  Would it be useful to extend fragment identiers in some way in order to allow an ID plus an SVGViewSpec etc?

That seems like a reasonable use case.

We’re currently trailing github for issue tracking, so I’ve copied this there:
https://github.com/w3c/svgwg/issues/48


We’ll follow up on github.

Thanks,
Nikos.
