Why does Squiggle complain about javascript?
When I try to view an SVG file with Squiggle, I receive an SVG Error
stating, "Unknown language: text/javascript" ... because my SVG file has
javascript encapsulated asCDATA that is a part of a <script> element who's
type attribute is "text/javascript". I use the javascript for SVG
interactivity and state maintenance ... and I realize that it may seem moot
to use javascript with the power of Batik. But, I still don't understand why
I receive an SVG Error (which prevents Squiggle from further rendering my
SVG file)?

Hmm, the problem with that is to get an SVG 1.1 compliant viewer, you're
gonna need to fix bugs in Rhino which make it non-compliant to ECMAScript
(since SVG requires that :-) and I think you'd be better placed getting the
SVG stuff looking good :-)

Well why not, it wouldn't be wrong, and then us users could use a mime-type
that whilst equally as wrong as text/ecmascript at least has more support in
the wild. You would also be consistent with inline and external scripts as I
understand batik still processes external javascripts served as
text/javascript.

Hi Jim,
Sure but the SVG specification doesn't require it :)
I'm not sure why you would _want_ to introduce new 'equivilent'
script types.

Since Batik has a JavaScript interpreter (not an ECMAScript one, although
the non-compliances are minimal...) could it not also respond to a made up
javascript mime-type just as it responds to a made up ECMAScript one.

Hello,
The type should be "text/ecmascript" not "text/javascript".
There are multiple examples of scripting using ECMAScript in the
samples/tests/spec/scripting directory.
Regards,
Vincent.
