-            rendering can proceed even if external resources are
-            unavailable to the current element and its
-            descendants.</dd>
-            <dt><span class="attr-value">true</span></dt>
-            <dd>Indicates that resources external to the current
-            document are required. If an external resource is not
-            available, progressive rendering is suspended, the
-            document's <a
-            href="interact.html#LoadEvent">SVGLoad</a> event is not

-            that resource and all other required resources become
-            available, have been parsed and are ready to be
-            rendered. If a timeout event occurs on a required
-            resource, then the document goes into an error state
-            (see <a href="implnote.html#ErrorProcessing">Error
-            processing</a>). The document remains in an error state
-            until all required resources become available.</dd>

-<p>This attribute applies to all types of resource references,
-including style sheets, color profiles (see <a
-href="color.html#ColorProfileDescriptions">Color profile
-descriptions</a>) and fonts specified by an <a>IRI reference</a> using a <a>'font-face'</a> element or a CSS
-@font-face specification. In particular, if an element sets
-<span
-class="attr-value">externalResourcesRequired="true"</span>,
-then all style sheets must be available since any style sheet
-might affect the rendering of that element.</p>
-
-<p>Attribute <a>'externalResourcesRequired'</a> is not
-inheritable (from a sense of attribute value inheritance), but
-if set on a container element, its value will apply to all
-elements within the container.</p>
-
-<p>Because setting <span
-class="attr-value">externalResourcesRequired="true"</span> on a
-container element will have the effect of disabling progressive
-display of the contents of that container, if that container
-includes elements that reference external resources, tools that generate
-SVG content are cautioned against simply setting <span
-class="attr-value">externalResourcesRequired="true"</span> on
-the <a>outermost svg element</a> on a universal
-basis. Instead, it is better to specify <span
-class="attr-value">externalResourcesRequired="true"</span> on
-those particular graphics elements or container elements which
-specifically need the availability of external resources in order to
-render properly.</p>
-
-<p>For <a>'externalResourcesRequired'</a>: <span
-class="anim-target"><a
-href="animate.html#Animatable">Animatable</a>: no.</span></p>
