Description Dirk Schulze 2012-10-26 19:22:08 UTC 
The definition of the SVG <defs> element needs some more clarification. The usage of rendering tree is confusing. The definition of this term is missing and does not match current implementations like Firefox or WebKit. To say it gets handled as if display:none was applied is awkward either. For some implementations this means no Renderer - an implementation detail that should be removed. The text should be clear what is meant.
