I don't think this is a real solution for several reasons, primarily: * Doesn't work for non fixed pixel data (eg white border around text on white reflowable page) * Would mean that everyone had to support SVG, making media fragments pointless * Is worse for separation of concerns (semantic/presentation) than the current proposal * It's harder to ignore, as it's embedded within the SVG selector XML rather than linked from the Annotation * It doesn't allow 'inverse' styles, important for things like medical images, where you grey out the rest of the resource rather than putting a semi-transparent colored area over top of the selected fragment, distorting the visible information.
