ISSUE-2351: Last Call Comment: Clarify that units are required on <length>s in style attribute; fix examples in text.
CSS Required Units
Last Call Comment: Clarify that units are required on <length>s in style attribute; fix examples in text.
- State:
- RAISED
- Product:
- SVG 1.1 F2 Last Call
- Raised by:
- Tavmjong Bah
- Opened on:
- 2010-07-14
- Description:
- It is not clear that the style attribute syntax follows that for CSS and thus units are required for <length> values (other than 0). This is further confused by examples in sections 6.6 and 7.10 where units are incorrectly left out. Units are also incorrectly left out in 6.6 style sheet examples (stroke-width).

Related notes:
After some discussion on the www-svg mailing list, it can be concluded that the examples in 6.6 are correct as the parameter in question ('stroke-width') is not a CSS defined property and thus does not need a unit. The example in 7.10 is wrong as 'font-size' is a CSS defined property and its use in a 'style' attribute requires a unit.
