There are none. Sure there are. A Bezier is a Bezier whether I style it or not. Lots of other XML namespaces have semantics. But the issue is not of removing style and leaving it removed; the issue is of using different styles on the same graphic for different situations. > Amost every element and attribute in an SVG document is stylistic. That depends on your definition of stylistic, which is clearly different from mine. > In particular the idea of "separation of > content and formatting" is no longer possible nor reasonable. I disagree. I can restyle a graphic so that instead of being black on white it is white on dark blue, because it is now being used in a slide show. I can restyle the colorisation of as greyscale image to make it look different and to tone in with the other graphics on the same page. That is styling. > As a W3C > member pointed out to me recently SVG's goals (and design) are much more > comparable to PDF than to HTML. a) I never said they were comparable to HTML b) Hakon doesn't think that anymore ;-) -- Chris XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list
