Section: http://www.whatwg.org/specs/web-apps/current-work/#svg-0 Comment: I'm confused by the wording on the SVG namespace, so in HTML5 the svg namespace will be used? Posted from: 141.218.50.7

EDITOR'S RESPONSE: This is an Editor's Response to your comment. If you are satisfied with this response, please change the state of this bug to CLOSED. If you have additional information and would like the editor to reconsider, please reopen this bug. If you would like to escalate the issue to the full HTML Working Group, please add the TrackerRequest keyword to this bug, and suggest title and text for the tracker issue; or you may create a tracker issue yourself, if you are able to do so. For more details, see this document: http://dev.w3.org/html5/decision-policy/decision-policy.html Status: Did Not Understand Request Change Description: no spec change Rationale: I don't completely understand the question. Could you elaborate? If you are asking whether elements need to be prefixed, as in <svg:circle>, <svg:rect>, etc, in text/html HTML5 documents that contain SVG elements, the answer is no. Similarly, if you're asking if xmlns="" attributes are needed in text/html HTML5 documents, the answer is always no. The parser determines from context whether it's SVG or not and annotates the elements with the appropriate flags in the DOM (this is also known as namespacing, but is not visible in the markup). I hope this helps. Please feel free to post a more detailed question and reopen the bug (or file a new bug) if it does not.
