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: Rejected Change Description: no spec change Rationale: Because the SVG definition, and more importantly the CSS definition on which the SVG one is based, is esoteric and isn't what people think of when they think of 'middle'. What do browsers implement? If browsers use the same definition for 'middle' here as for CSS and SVG, we can change it. (It looks like Opera does 'middle' per CSS/SVG, and Gecko/WebKit do it per the HTML spec. Haven't figured out how to test IE9 yet.) 45232 2 ian 2011-02-08 01:45:58 +0000 boogyman helped out. IE9 also does it per spec. So I think it's probably too late to change. 52731 3 mike 2011-08-04 05:03:54 +0000 mass-move component to LC1
