        <pre>The getters SVGAnimatedStaticPropertyTearOff::baseVal() and SVGAnimatedStaticPropertyTearOff::animVal() return a reference to an SVG property object.

E.g.

template&lt;typename PropertyType&gt;
class SVGAnimatedStaticPropertyTearOff : public SVGAnimatedProperty {
public:
   virtual PropertyType&amp; baseVal()
    {
        return m_property;
    }

It would be preferable for the returned reference to PropertypType to be const.</pre>
