Well, its no more poor than CSS support is poor - its just implemented in different products. This is starting to change, though, with UAs that support both CSS box model styling (eg, of XHTML) and SVG improving. Konqueror and Firebird spring to mind. The situation could be improved by having an 'integration' test suite that tests SVG/XHTML mixtures in various ways, and specifically by testing SVG image support in CSS with background images. (And I agree that starting to add gradients to CSS is a slippery slope). -- Chris Lilley mailto:chris@w3.org Chair, W3C SVG Working Group Member, W3C Technical Architecture Group
