Subject: [Fwd: clarification: OpenDocument and SVG]
Michael, there seems to be some concern within the SVG group on how we are referencing their anonymous attributes via the svg namespace. See also http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-svg/2005Feb/0000.html ~Lars -------- Original Message -------- Subject: clarification: OpenDocument and SVG Date: Tue, 01 Feb 2005 23:24:41 -0500 From: MenTaLguY <mental@rydia.net> To: SVG List <www-svg@w3.org>, Jon Phillips <jon@rejon.org> CC: Inkscape ML <inkscape-devel@lists.sourceforge.net>, dean@w3.org, Lars.Oppermann@Sun.COM, Daniel Carrera <dcarrera@openoffice.org> References: <41FEDE94.5040901@rejon.org> Jon, to restate the issue more concisely: The OpenDocument specification, which is under consideration as an EU standard[1], introduces a number of XML attributes into the SVG namespace that are not part of the SVG standard. For example, there is a non-standard svg:width attribute that is applied to non-SVG elements to specify width[2]. My concern is that if OpenDocument gets standardized by the EU in its current state, that would set a really ugly precedent for putting non-standard extensions in W3C-specified namespaces. I have gone ahead and CCed the SVG WG staff contact and the OpenDocument Committee secretary. Hopefully I've not wasted anyone's time, and they can talk to the appropriate people in each group and put the issue to rest quickly. -mental --- [1] http://www.groklaw.net/article.php?story=20050130002908154 [2] The most recent draft of the OpenDocument specification (Dec 2004) I could find is available here: http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/download.php/10765/office-spec-1.0-cd-2 Section 9.2 of the specification, which starts on page 275, is most relevent. Here is an example from section 9.2.1: <draw:rect svg:x="2cm" svg:y="3cm" svg:width="10cm" svg:height="20cm" svg:transform="rotate(45)" draw:style-name="object-with-shadow"> (in this example the 'draw' prefix is bound to the urn:oasis:names:tc:opendocument:xmlns:drawing:1.0 namespace, and 'svg' to the http://www.w3.org/2000/svg namespace) -- Lars Oppermann <lars.oppermann@sun.com> Sun Microsystems Software Engineer - StarOffice Sachsenfeld 4 Phone: +49 40 23646 959 D-20097 Hamburg Fax: +49 40 23646 550 http://www.sun.com/staroffice
