Hi JWatt, This was discussed during the 5 May SVG WG telcon http://www.w3.org/2009/05/04-svg-minutes.html#item05 and we feel that foreignObject establishes (from the CSS layout point of view) a new fixed positioning containing block (indeed, and I just conferred with David Baron, a new canvas as well). So its similar to object or iframe in html, when the content inside the object/iframe is also html. Its not clear which spec this should be reflected in. It seems to fall between CSS and SVG.... perhaps the one Doug is writing on integration issues. Tracker, this relates to ACTION-2546 -- Chris Lilley mailto:chris@w3.org Technical Director, Interaction Domain W3C Graphics Activity Lead Co-Chair, W3C Hypertext CG
