SVG needs a default visual indication of focus or hover for anchors like the dotted line around images in html. javascript is not always available or enabled. it's unrealistic to expect authors to provide. it's not clear how users can set a style sheet to provide.

maybe hover is a step too far?

instead of saying any, please include a url for one.

"An SVG user agent rendering an SVG image with embedded graphical links is required to highlight each (enabled) link that may be rendered independently according to the SVG specification." http://www.w3.org/TR/UAAG10/guidelines.html#gl-navigation

Opera nightlies now provide a "bounding box" indication of focus.

Safari & Opera now provide a "bounding box" indication of focus in svg

Still no testcase, and this was never confirmed properly, so I'm marking UNCO. Jonathan, please do NOT confirm bugs you file, despite the fact that you have the ability to do so, unless someone has instructed you to file a bug as NEW.

Confirming this bug is going to require more documentation than "IIRC". Just because you CAN confirm a bug does not mean you SHOULD. You are not a Core:SVG developer, and none of them have ever confirmed this, so until one of them does, I suggest you leave it UNCO as it should be.

I'm sure we would be terribly disappointed if this happened.

#10 please refer to comment #3 where a reference to UA guidelines is given. this bug does not refer to the content guidelines SVG 1.1 or 1.2, because the it is something the User Agent or browser should provide.
