ISSUE-2161: SVG element namespace requirement
SVGnsreq
SVG element namespace requirement
- State:
- CLOSED
- Product:
- SVG 1.2 Tiny: Last Call
- Raised by:
- Cameron McCormack
- Opened on:
- 2008-10-24
- Description:
- http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-svg-wg/2008OctDec/0236.html
In the Implementation Notes appendix, it says:
User agents must only consider elements explicitly placed in the SVG
namespace by XML Namespace declarations in the document (e.g.,
<svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg">) as being SVG elements.
—– http://dev.w3.org/SVG/profiles/1.2T/publish/implnote.html#VersionControl
This ignores elements created using the uDOM. I suggest this be
reworded as follows:
When parsing a document, SVG user agents must only consider elements
explicitly placed in the SVG namespace by XML namespace declarations
in the document (e.g., <svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg">) as
being SVG elements. Similarly, any elements created with the
Document::createElementNS() uDOM method must have had the SVG
namespace passed as the namespaceURI parameter for it to be considered
to be an SVG element.
