RE: Re[2]: [cgmo-webcgm] Question about NVDC and APS attributes

["Dieter Weidenbrueck" <dieter@itedo.com>]

well....

I think that we decided to allow for setting a view context using a
setAttribute
call. The view context should be specified in NVDC to match all other
coordinates
used in the DOM context. So the view context became a virtual view context.
I am not 100% sure, but that's my only recollection.

I don't know where it came from; the only thing I remember is that you
and Dieter understood its meaning.

maybe?
