LGTM1. The viewTarget IDL attribute merely reflects the content attribute as a SVGStringList, but the content attribute doesn't do anything. So the advice to web developers is to just drop viewTarget and things will continue to work the same.

Shanmuga,
(Or whoever knows) If deprecation is in M54, then when is removal expected?

If an API's not documented it doesn't exist.
