Hi Brian,

I had some error messages in my first message.  Let me expand on these:
AFAICS this is all about attributes that xml2rfc does not accept on specific SVG elements.

Consolidating these messages a bit, I get:

y.xml(722): Error: Invalid attribute shape-rendering for element svg, […]
y.xml(776): Error: Invalid attribute stroke for element path, […]
y.xml(818): Error: Invalid attribute stroke for element text, […]
(And then, apparently as a result of these:
y.xml(14): Error: Invalid document before running preptool.
.)

Well, this is not the whole story, as stroke needs to be a valid attribute for path; this seems to be about the value stroke="#000000” for path (which probably needs to be replaced by stroke=“black”) and stroke="none” for text (which probably is default anyway).
This was for ditaa.  With mscgen, I additionally get:

ymscgen.xml(87): Error: Invalid attribute text-rendering for element svg, […]

> I'm curious because I've done some personal patching of svgcheck and discovered what a minefield this all is. Indeed, some drawing tools produce stuff that others don't, so there is a strong element of crapshoot.

Yes, those words describe it pretty well.

Of course, I could easily integrate my own additions of svgcheck-like processing into kramdown-rfc.
Unfortunately, adding serious XML processing adds some deployment considerations (one would normally use a gem that causes some installation difficulties on older platforms as it requires compiling native code).

Grüße, Carsten
