Re: [cgmo-webcgm] changes in DOM specification for redraw control

[Lofton Henderson <lofton@rockynet.com>]

Thanks for the drafting assignment, Forrest.

A couple of comment and questions:

1.) I wonder if Boolean is the best choice for the 'state'
parameter?  I know that it encompasses all of the functionality that
we want for 2.1.  But is it possible that there might be a future
version with more functional choices?  (No opinion ... just a
question.)

2.) What other sections of the spec are affected?  I looked at 2.7
and think it is NOT affected -- redraw() is too detailed there,
probably.  On the other hand, Ch.8 ECMASCRIPT definitely needs mods.
Are there any others?  Ch.7 Conformance?  Appendixes?

Regards,
-Lofton.
