The issue I raised is that it is unclear how to include non-visual foreign markup in SVG documents, in particular as the foreignObject element seems to assume visual rendering. I think the draft either needs to clearly define how to do that or explain why it does not; so if there isn't a dedicated section in the draft that I missed and you failed to point out, this is not satisfactory to me. >Regarding audio, I am sure you are well-aware that SVG-t 1.2 has an 'audio' >element.

The <audio> element cannot be used to refer to non-visual foreign markup, it can only be used to refer to complete external non-SVG resources that are audible. -- Björn Höhrmann · mailto:bjoern@hoehrmann.de · http://bjoern.hoehrmann.de Weinh.
