Changes with the 03-December-1999 SVG Draft Specification (for benefit of SVG working group)

- Added a navigation bar at the bottom of all pages.

- Changes to Document Structure
- Section 6.3.1: made the list of things which use references
complete and re-ordered the list alphabetically.
- Clarified that an 'image'
creates its own document tree and doesn't inherit properties.
- Fixed a couple of editorial mistakes in the DOM section.
- Moved 'switch', 'system-required' and the new 'system-language' to Document Structure.
- Added attribute system-language,
from SMIL 1.0,
for all elements that have attribute system-required
to provide the mechanism for multiple localized text strings
for the same document, as noted in previous draft specifications.
Documented in
The system-language attribute
- Defined SVG's available feature strings for "hasFeature" method call
and "system-required" attribute.
- Modify system-required to be NMTOKEN instead of CDATA to match SMIL 1.0.

added a note saying that SVG defines a new at-rule (@color-profile).

11.2 Specifying paint
and cleaned up formatting.
