ISSUE-2304: Refactor and simplify various viewport-creating elements

refactor symbol, marker, etc

Refactor and simplify various viewport-creating elements

State:
RAISED
Product:
SVG 2
Raised by:
Doug Schepers
Opened on:
2010-02-04
Description:
SVG 1.1 defines several viewport-creating elements, including nested <svg>, <symbol>, <marker>, which all have slightly different characteristics. In SVG 2.0, we should consider conflating and simplifying them for ease of implementation and authoring. For example, <symbol> and <marker> may be redefined as special cases of <svg>.

Along with this, we may consider treatment of <glyph> elements in SVG fonts, and various ways <use> works along with @marker (markers currently don't have a shadow tree).
