Re: [svgwg] :hover on overlapping elements

Thank you, BigBadaboom.

In my mind (very subjective): 
1. It makes sense that :hover is triggered on the deepest element (in the tree of HTML tags)
I see no reason to display overlapping texts (!) and to simultaneously change the way they are displayed.

2. SVG is different from HTML :
    + Elements are positioned in x,y
    + Overlapping is used as graphic technic to represent complex shapes with simple ones.

3. I want to produce an effect such as https://data.whicdn.com/images/173734828/original.gif but only based on moves of the mouse.
Anticipating the moves of the mouse requires "more :hover" than managed today, not less.

Hopefully, those explanations clarify things.
