Description Nils Barth 2014-04-07 11:13:13 UTC 
In the SVG 2 spec at:
5.11.2. Interface SVGSVGElement
http://www.w3.org/TR/SVG2/struct.html#InterfaceSVGSVGElement
in the definition of interface SVGSVGElement, the members:
  NodeList getIntersectionList(SVGRect rect, SVGElement referenceElement);
  NodeList getEnclosureList(SVGRect rect, SVGElement referenceElement);
should instead read:
  NodeList getIntersectionList(SVGRect rect, SVGElement? referenceElement);
  NodeList getEnclosureList(SVGRect rect, SVGElement? referenceElement);
i.e., referenceElement should be *nullable* (SVGElement*?*) in getIntersectionList and getEnclosureList.

The prose specifically assumes that these are nullable, reading:
SVGElement referenceElement
If not null, ...
