I disagree. The user will still be able to change the color.

Imagine an author style sheet containing:

#myid { fill:red }  (1)

for an svg document like this:

<svg>
  <rect id="myid" .... />
</svg>

It is still possible to have a blue 'rect' even with the ID selector on
it. For example just by having a user style sheet containing:

svg #myid { fill:blue } (2)

because (1) has a 100 specificity and (2) has a 101 specificity.

It is also certainly possible by using the !important rules which
reverses the user/author style sheet priority...
