(Core :: SVG, defect)

Description

[Chwiej Pawel]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.9.2a1pre) Gecko/20090212 Minefield/3.2a1pre
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.9.2a1pre) Gecko/20090212 Minefield/3.2a1pre

Seems like this '<use xlink:href="#xpointer(id('usedRect'))" x="260" y="20"/>' syntax for local references is not supported.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go to http://codinginparadise.org/projects/SvgViewer/trunk/svgForHtml/w3c_testsuite/full-struct-use-02-t.html
2. Compare SVG with reference png.
Actual Results:  
Xpointer reference doesn't work.

Expected Results:  
Xpointer reference should be equivalent to addressing an SVG element by its ID.

Does this kind of xpointer syntax work in xhtml? Bug 32832 suggests not in which case this bug is a duplicate of that one.

You're right, seems like it doesn't work there either. This can be marked as a duplicate then. I don't know how I have missed that bug. Thanks.
