Description kkrueger 2010-07-15 14:16:17 UTC
The spec should state as a MUST that for foreign content the default style comes from CSS2.1 spec and not the default style of the foreign content.  For example,  in a SVG document the root's default overflow == 'clipped' and for HTML the default for overflow == 'visible'.

This was discussed and agreed upon to be correct by the SVG WG that the default for overflow should be 'visible', because when svg is in a HTML document it needs to follow CSS2.1 specification.

http://www.w3.org/2010/06/07-svg-minutes.html

By adding this it should help make SVG in html more interoperable w/o having web authors add svg { overflow: visible } to every HTML page that contains SVG.

Are you saying the current spec is wrong (i.e. something needs changing) or are you saying it is insufficient (i.e. something needs adding)?
Comment 2 kkrueger 2010-09-14 23:27:07 UTC
The spec is insufficient
Comment 3 Ian 'Hixie' Hickson 2010-09-28 21:59:28 UTC
Sorry for being slow here. It's not clear to me what needs adding. What's the difference between the default style coming from CSS2.1 rather than the foreign content? I don't understand what either of those would mean. Isn't this just a matter of making sure the SVG UA style sheet makes sense for compound documents? Why is this an HTML issue and not an SVG issue? Does the problem not occur when SVG is mixed with other vocabularies?
