Is this enough?" 88047 1 dominicc 2013-05-22 03:40:26 +0000 Perhaps the spec could be simplified (removing mentions of extending SVGElement, prototype chain walking for that, removing mention of an unknown interface for XML elements, etc.) 88362 2 dominicc 2013-05-29 05:33:23 +0000 FWIW here is an example of using type extensions with SVG, which seems to work fine and dandy: <http://jsbin.com/elivaz/2/> However Blink may not be spec compliant in some way that makes this possible while it is disallowed by the spec. I think it is fine for SVG Custom Elements to always be type extensions. What would you draw, otherwise? 89604 3 dglazkov 2013-06-19 21:48:43 +0000 (In reply to comment #2) > However Blink may not be spec compliant in some way that makes this possible > while it is disallowed by the spec. The question in the bug is much simpler: should declarative syntax support anything other than HTML namespace? 89610 4 dominicc 2013-06-20 00:20:01 +0000 (In reply to comment #3) > The question in the bug is much simpler: should declarative syntax support > anything other than HTML namespace? Yes. An observation: It doesn't make sense for SVG Custom Elements to be custom tags. They should be type extensions. Therefore the "extends" attribute unambiguously indicates whether a custom element is an SVG element. (There's no overlap between SVG and HTML tag names, right?) 89611 5 dglazkov 2013-06-20 00:27:11 +0000 (In reply to comment #4) > Therefore the "extends" attribute unambiguously indicates whether a custom > element is an SVG element.

Namespace attribute, which defaults to HTML's? 89842 7 dglazkov 2013-06-25 20:15:59 +0000 (In reply to comment #6) > That sucks. Namespace attribute, which defaults to HTML's? Let's tackle this later.
