Hi, folks-
I've been playing around with the <oXygen /> XML editor, seeing how
SVG-handy it is, and I've run into a question.
I don't normally but DOCTYPE declarations in my SVG files, since I declare
the namespaces in the root (and since it causes some problems in script with
import and parsing a file that does have a DOCTYPE declaration). But the
Oxygen editor says it's not valid if I don't have one; in fact, it doesn't
even recognize it as SVG.
So, can anyone confirm or categorically deny that one needs the DOCTYPE
declaration to have a valid SVG file? This is counter to what I have gleaned
from the SVG Spec (though I can't find a reference at the moment).
Also, do I need a <?xml version="1.0" standalone="no"?> header, and if so,
when? Oxygen doesn't care if I do or not, but I just want to Do The Right
Thing.
Regards-
Doug
