I think that's what Jeff meant, yes. (Basically, can authors already solve the problems that "vector-effect:fixed-position" is intended to solve, by simply creating two different <svg> elements (in an HTML context), and styling one with "position: fixed">? Here's a simple demo with a floating fixed-position legend, using that sort of solution: https://jsfiddle.net/vv9gwemr/ ) Also, Jeff asked another important question -- have other browsers expressed any intent to implement these features? Also note that this feature is marked as "at-risk" of being dropped from this version of the SVG2 spec: "ISSUE 31: Values of vector-effect other than non-scaling-stroke and none are at risk of being dropped from SVG 2 due to a lack of implementations." https://svgwg.org/svg2-draft/coords.html#issue31 Looks like that warning was added here: https://github.com/w3c/svgwg/issues/186 If no other browsers are intending to implement it, then there's a serious question of whether it's worth taking on this added code & the increased complexity/attack-surface/bug-surface/maintenance-burden that new features inevitably bring along, if web developers aren't going to be able to use the feature on the web due to lack of support in other browsers. ~Daniel _______________________________________________ dev-platform mailing list dev-platform@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/dev-platform
