The change in SVG parsing is not tied to this proposal though, it needs 
to be done anyway for SVG Parameters. SVG Parameters is something badly 
needed in SVG anyway and I'd love to see development continue for that 
spec. Authors are currently abusing Webfonts to get behavior that would 
be much better implemented with SVG Parameters (i.e. utlizing the same 
vector icon with different colors in different places).
