Svgelement automatically assigns height

[mehditvk8]

Hi. I parsed svg that had a rect object that has no height attribute. But svgelement return me an rectangle with height 100000. Is there anyway to solve this or recognize if rect element has height or not?

A rectangle without a height has a default value of 0 which is degenerate and shouldn't render. Can you give some example code or svg showing behavior which is inconsistent with the spec.
