CSS would like to change the definition of currentColor; is this okay with SVG? from Tab Atkins Jr. on 2012-01-27 (public-fx@w3.org from January to March 2012)

For context, start with this thread:

Currently, the currentColor keyword computes to the value of the
'color' property, and then inherits as that color.  CSS would like to
change this so that it computes/inherits as itself, shifting the
actual resolution into a color to used-value time.

This will have no effect on non-inherited properties (unless you
explicitly use 'inherit', which is rare).  It would make it easier to
specify inherited properties that want to match the current text
color, such as text-emphasis-color (which sets the color of emphasis
marks, used in CJK typography).

Is this okay for SVG?
