Re: [cgmo-webcgm] DOM question

[Benoit Bezaire <benoit@itedo.com>]

Hi All,

  I've attached 3 files (2 svg files and 1 html).  Save all three
  files somewhere and open viewers.html.  I'm using an SVG example
  since the same concept will apply for our WebCGM DOM.

  BTW, the wording of the spec should be changed; the 'name'
  attribute in xhtml has been deprecated... it has been replace with
  XML:ID.  Therefore, to address a specific 'object', a user should be
  referencing the unique 'id'.

  One I'm not a 100% sure about this part of the wording below:
  "However, the specific syntax for addressing a specific CGM in an
  HTML page is not standardized.", in my example I know that
  everything after "document." is completely standardized.  I just
  can't find where the W3C says that a global object called 'document'
  is the DOM entry point.

  Does this help?

  Cheers,
