<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">Hi Vlad,<o:p></o:p></span></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">Yes, I was wondering about that as well. I didn’t think that mixing mention of external references and foreignObject in the same subsection would look too odd. However, the title of the subsection should reflect
that.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">The subsection title could read: “Security considerations and other glyph rendering restrictions” instead of just “Security”. And it should be a sub-section of the “Glyph rendering” section, and not a parallel
section as in the draft. This is because security is achieved by restricting how the glyph is rendered. Also, the contents of the UA style sheet are related to the restrictions for security (and for text elements/foreignObject).<o:p></o:p></span></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">I’m also fine if you prefer having a second sub-section after “Security considerations” that reads “Other rendering restrictions” with content: “R<span style="color:black">endering of the glyphs must ignore any SVG text elements and foreignObjects
encountered.</span>”<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">So the section/subsection hierarchy should be:<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">Glyph rendering<o:p></o:p></p>

may seem to be the same – i.e., we don’t want to see something happen – the reasons for not allowing something to happen are quite different and don’t mix well. I’d rather keep rendering limitations away from security considerations and vice versa. (This is
my personal opinion only, I am very much open to other suggestions from the group.)</span><span style="color:black"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
