I adopted your wording to match the aim of the bullet point. [1] Note that the context was not to explain ARIA, but rather to indicate in general some particular restrictions of attribute values that arise from integration with other specs, above and beyond what is required by the SVG spec itself. Please review the changes to the spec, and let us know promptly if this satisfies your comment. [1] http://dev.w3.org/SVG/profiles/1.2T/publish/metadata.html#MetadataAttributes Regards- -Doug
