-------------------

I see from discussion following the meeting that one of the CSS agenda item=
s (css-writing-modes) was indeed addressed.

I think the majority of authors who have developed content that is consiste=
nt with SVG1.1 who fear that our industrial, scholarly and artistic work is=
 about to be deprecated with no workable functionality to replace it, are m=
ore concerned perhaps, with the status of https://github.com/w3c/svgwg/issu=
es/23 in particular the clarification of what standards compliance means vi=
s a vis declarative animation, relationships to existing content, the parts=
 of SVG DOM (as with animVal vs baseVal) and methods to pass events back an=
d forth between declarative and scripted methods (onend, onbegin, beginElem=
ent(), etc.).

When one writer on the github discussion writes

"If there is / will be consensus in the SVG WG that both script animation a=
nd declarative animation (incl SVG's animation elements) should be required=
 for dynamic SVG viewers (I think both should be required for eg browsers),=
 then the wording (eg in the SVG2 spec) should be updated to unambiguously =
state that.

Many developers want/need SVG SMIL / SVG's animation elements. If there is =
/ will be consensus in the SVG WG that both script animation and declarativ=
e animation (incl SVG's animation elements) should be required for dynamic =
SVG viewers (I think both should be required for eg browsers), then the wor=
ding (eg in the SVG2 spec) should be updated to unambiguously state that.

Many developers want/need SVG SMIL / SVG's animation elements."

I think many who work in at least a dozen different sectors of world econom=
y would concur. Human communication is far too large an issue to be left in=
 the hands of a few narrow economic interests.=20

Was that issue discussed? Was consensus found?

David
