SVG:Specification Issues

Ideally issues should be tracked using issue tracking software, but that's often less accessible to "outsiders", and it can take time and many iterations to hash out a good clear description for an issue. In that respect, wiki pages (with their version history and the ability to revert changes) are very useful.

• Embedding by Inclusion
• SVG Length:
  • (SVG1.1) how do lengths that are not in a document work?
• SVG Fonts:
  • (SVG1.2T) <font-face> ascent/descent definitions incorrect
  • (SVG1.1/SVG1.2T) <font-face> {underline,strikethrough,overline}-{position,thickness} defaults
  • (SVG1.1/SVG1.2T) multiple <missing-glyph>
  • (SVG1.1/SVG1.2T) multiple <font-face> elements
  • (SVG1.1) circular definition of SVG font vert-origin-y, ascent if neither set
• SVG Filters:
  • (SVG1.1) SVGFESpecularLighting missing kernelUnitLength?
  • (SVG1.1) FillPaint and StrokePaint inputs for filters poorly defined for container elements
  • (SVG1.1) effect of filter primitive subregion on feGaussianBlur
  • (SVG1.2) filter margins useless
  • (SVG1.1) bad viewport text for backgroundImage
  • (SVG1.1) filter primitive subregion too vague
• SVG Script
  • (SVG1.1) script should have a type attributes so that local scripts work
• SVG Text:
  • (SVG1.1) insufficient detail to implement text-decoration
  • (SVG1.1) xml:space="default" underspecified
• image-rendering
  • (SVG1.1) additional crispEdges value for image-rendering

• SVG Filters:
  • (SVG1.1) feDiffuseLighting calculation does not define I(x,y)
  • (SVG1.1) feSpotLight's limitingConeAngle not mentioned in lighting equations
