This is an example where the calculation of a function $f(a,b)$ is not only totally wrong, it gives completely different results depending on the CPU. Despite the CPU conforming to IEEE.
+\section{Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) 1.1 (Second Edition) \cite{svg2011-1.1}}
+
+Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) is a XML language for describing two dimensional graphics. This document is \url{http://www.w3.org/TR/2011/REC-SVG11-20110816/}, the latest version of the standard at the time of writing.
+
+\subsubsection{Three types of object}
+\begin{enumerate}
+ \item Vector graphics shapes (paths)
+ \item Images (embedded bitmaps)
+ \item Text
+\end{enumerate}
+
+\subsubsection{Rendering Model and Precision}
+
+SVG uses the ``painter's model''. Paint is applied to regions of the page in an order, covering the paint below it according to rules for alpha blending.
+
+``Implementations of SVG are expected to behave as though they implement a rendering (or imaging) model cor-
+responding to the one described in this chapter. A real implementation is not required to implement the model in
+this way, but the result on any device supported by the implementation shall match that described by this model.''
+
+SVG uses {\bf single precision floats}. Unlike PDF and PostScript, the standard specifies this as a {\bf minimum} range from \verb/-3.4e+38F/ to \verb/+3.4e+38F/
+
+``It is recommended that higher precision floating point storage and computation be performed on operations
+such as coordinate system transformations to provide the best possible precision and to prevent round-off errors.''
+
+There is also a ``High Quality SVG Viewers'' requirement to use at least {\bf double} precision floats.
+
+\section{OpenVG Specification 1.1 \cite{rice2008openvg}}
+``OpenVG is an application programming interface (API) for hardware-accelerated two-
+dimensional vector and raster graphics developed under the auspices of the Khronos
+Group \url{www.khronos.org}.''
+
+Specifically, provides the same drawing functionality required by a high-performance SVG document viewer (SVG Tiny 1.2)
+TODO: Look at that $\neq$ SVG 1.1
+
+It is designed to be similar to OpenGL.
+
+\subsubsection{Precision}
+``All floating-point values are specified in standard IEEE 754 format. However,
+implementations may clamp extremely large or small values to a restricted
+range, and internal processing may be performed with lesser precision. At least
+16 bits of mantissa, 6 bits of exponent, and a sign bit must be present, allowing
+values from $\pm 2^{-30}$ to $\pm2^{31}$ to be represented with a fractional precision of at least 1
+in $2^{16}$.''
+
+IEEE but with a non standard number of bits.
+
+Presumably the decreased precision is for increased efficiency the standard states that example applications are for ebooks.

+\section{Document Object Model --- pugixml 1.4 manual \cite{pugixmlDOM}}
+
+Pugixml is a C++ library for parsing XML documents\cite{kapoulkine2014pugixml}. XML is based on the Document Object Model (DOM); this is explained pretty well by the pugixml manual.
+
+The document is the root node of the tree. Each child node has a type. These may
+\begin{itemize}
+ \item Have attributes
+ \item Have child nodes of their own
+ \item Contain data
+\end{itemize}
+
+In the case of HTML/SVG an XML parser within the browser/viewer creates the DOM tree from the XML (plain text) and then interprets that tree to produce the objects that will be rendered.
+
+Example of XML $\to$ DOM tree given at\cite{pugixmlDOM}.
+Example of XML parsing using pugixml is in \shell{code/src/tests/xml.cpp}

+\section{The DOM Model}
+
+A document is modelled as a tree. The root of the tree is the document. This has nodes of varying types. Some nodes may have children, attributes, and data.
