One SVG Attribute per Page? Really??

0 votes
I was looking up some documentation for SVG attributes, and I notice the overall layout has a separate web page for each one.  It makes for a really clumsy browsing experience, and becomes very tiring for anybody trying to learn the overall subject of how SVG works.

Wouldn't you think it was crazy if you went to a restaurant and the menu had each item on a separate page?

Most of the SVG attributes are completely documented in just a few lines of text. The standards link could be reduced to an icon, and the "related pages" reduced to a line or two.  There's no reason not to put all of this information into one comprehensive web page; some clever JavaScript can hide the less relevant items if you want to minimize scrolling.

People are more likely to contribute to a site if it's effective at delivering information.  Scattering closely related topics across dozens of web pages is a non-starter.  The concept of WebPlatform is great, but I predict a dim future for it if this basic design flaw isn't cleaned up.
