Jeremias, please do another scan first of the 1.1 document--thankfully it's all in one HTML file--search for both "scale" and "scaling" throughout to (1) make sure that is the case (there appear to be some new properties and even formatting objects related to scaling), and (2) to see if there is any scaling logic that you're contemplating that may be applicable in other areas as well. Next, you may wish to check the AntennaHouse and RenderX extension element/attribute list. There may be something you can learn there about background scaling, also when you send emails to the xsl-editors list saying "[insert commercial company here] already does this", etc., it will carry more weight. > Should we skip that or should we define our own > properties? I don't care either way. Although I don't understand why the specification doesn't already handle background image scaling. Something is rotten in the State of Denmark here--this would seem to be a common need. > Maybe Glen > wants to talk to the WG about that. > Would be delighted. But imaging issues are beyond my scope, and it's about time the WG learn more about you as well. Please do so, also mention that you're from FOP as well please. (Not that you need my permission.) (This is gonna be great--with both of us sending comments to the W3C, we can use a good-cop/bad-cop technique to persuade them. Guess which role I want to play? ;) Thanks, Glen
