He devs,
I've been trying to read up on image tags special case, where a href
will start with data: and then proceed to have data. Since I want to
merge most of the sp-image logic into Inkscape::URI I need to know if
data uris are something the svg spec says should only be available to
image tags... or should be available to any href.
The svg 1.1 spec says nothing about data uris that I could find. Any
ideas?
In the end, I want hrefs to be able to be loaded, processed into
localised absolute references and even parsed for data if that's
generic. From the same Inkscape::URI object.
Does this seem sensible? I note the css url(...) handler isn't the same
as the href handler; so should something be done to help those converge
too?
Any thoughts would be appreciated.
Martin,
