It clashes with a property that was in an older draft of CSS2, and which was implemented by IE. It basically means that IE will never be able to implement SVG in HTML. (A lot of legacy content uses the 'filter' property.) It also means that user agents such as Mozilla and Opera have to make a decision when they implement SVG: Implement SVG filters, or implement IE filters? IE filters are more widely used, but SVG filters are a standard. It's not always a simple choice. -- Ian Hickson U+1047E )\._.,--....,'``. fL http://ln.hixie.ch/ U+263A /, _.. \ _\ ;`._ ,.
