Hello, the core disadvantage for renaming something in SVG is, that it is backwards incompatible to already published viewers and existing content. For SVG 2 there is a requirement to avoid any backwards incompatibilities. And as we all know - there is a certain danger, if implementor get a choice to do something, this typically results in trouble for authors and the audience ;-) 'd' is a nice name both for an attribute and a property. However, it is questionable to define it as a property, just because in almost any case the information in it is content and not just decoration. Olaf
