Editorial(ish): Incorrect method reference in algorithm for checkIntersection/checkEnclosure

[fsoder]

In the algorithm for checkIntersection [1] (checkEnclosure analogously) it says:

...depending on what method we are in:

• getIntersectionList ...

which ought to say checkIntersection.

[1] https://svgwg.org/svg2-draft/struct.html#__svg__SVGSVGElement__checkIntersection (this was the "closest" reference I could find - wishful thinking would have it actually reference the algorithm for said method) - search for "When checkIntersection".

@fsoder That method would call itself then. The idea is to get the list of descendants first and perform the actual task in step 2-5.

That method would call itself then.

No it wouldn't, see below. (And above...)

The idea is to get the list of descendants first and perform the actual task in step 2-5.

Yes, and to do that (invoke [1]), the algorithm dispatches using the method it is invoked from, which for checkIntersection() or checkEnclosure() would mean that - as written - the list of descendants would always be empty (because we're never invoking this algorithm from getIntersectionList() or getEnclosureList().)
