Description Ken Cotterill 2009-08-08 05:06:48 UTC
This refers to the collection of pages starting at "Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) 1.1 Specification" (http://www.w3.org/TR/SVG11/).

A number of pages in this collection have a link (named mostly as "[SRGB]"; "sRGB" also occurs) which points to http://www.iec.ch/nr1899.htm

This link redirects to http://www.iec.ch/helpline/info/nr1899.htm which includes the text: "Many of our page addresses have changed recently."

I found instances of this link on:
"4 Basic Data Types and Interfaces" - http://www.w3.org/TR/SVG11/types.html
"12 Color" - http://www.w3.org/TR/SVG11/color.html

There is an "errata" link (http://www.w3.org/2003/01/REC-SVG11-20030114-errata) on the first page (http://www.w3.org/TR/SVG11/).
There is no erratum for the [SRGB] link but the link itself is present in "Incorrect reference to solidColor element" (http://www.w3.org/2003/01/REC-SVG11-20030114-errata#incorrect-reference-solidcolor-element).
This accurately represents the "before" and "after" states and is probably appropriate here.

It's possible this same link exists on other pages in the collection.

This has been fixed in the latest Editor's Draft of SVG 1.1 Second Edition:

  http://dev.w3.org/SVG/profiles/1.1F2/publish/

The in-chapter links now point to the bibliography entry, which itself now refers to http://webstore.iec.ch/webstore/webstore.nsf/artnum/025408.
