Hi maybe a dumb question, but why does SVG icons in GB och GB blocks referens to W3-org with http:// and not https://?
Isn´t that going to irritate Google Chrome, so they say the site is not secure? I think I had that issue before with other links that was old and using http, but I could be mistaking.
Just curious.
So XMLNS is a XML Name Space – not a link ( so google wont crawl it ). It performs the function of “DocType Declaration” so the browser knows what rules to apply to it.
The HTTP:: is just part of the namespace that W3.org declares – so you will see it the majority of SVGs – not just those you find in GB.
