Abstract

This document addresses errors in the Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) 1.1 (Second Edition) Specification Recommendation published on 16 August 2011. It records all errors that, at the time of this document’s publication, have solutions that have been approved by the SVG Working Group.

There are currently no known errors.

1. Introduction

This document lists all corrections for the Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) 1.1 Specification Recommendation that have been approved by the SVG Working Group.

Each erratum is classified as markup, editorial or substantive. These categories are defined as follows:

Markup
A change to the document markup, such as fixing a broken link or invalid markup.
Editorial
An editorial change or clarification that does not change the technical content of the specification.
Substantive
A change to the specification that may affect conformance.

These categories correspond to the first three correction classes in the W3C Process Document.

Each erratum has one of two statuses: proposed and normative. Proposed errata are those that have been accepted by the Working Group but which still need wider technical review and endorsement from the W3C. Normative errata are those that have been accepted by the Working Group and have had wider technical review and endorsement by the W3C. (See the Errata Management section of the W3C Process Document for details.)

Comments on the specification or these errata may be sent to www-svg@w3.org, which is publicly archived.

2. Normative corrections

There are currently no normative corrections.

3. Proposed corrections

font-face-src

font-face-src is required in the DTD but optional in the spec. The spec is correct and the DTD is incorrect. DTDs are no longer being used for defining SVG, and SVG2 drops SVG Fonts of which font-face-src is a part.

display, not visibility

It was reported that SVG 1.1 said:

Note that ‘visibility’ is not an inheritable property.

This is incorrect; it should say that `display` is not inherited.

The error has been corrected in SVG2.
