As most implementation actually "ignore" trailing spaces and do case-insensitive matching (both testcases show red squares in the SVG players I could get my hands on) wouldn't it perhaps be better to define a model that is also compatible with SVG 1.1 implementations? (<http://www.w3.org/TR/SVG11/types.html#DataTypeColor>) It seems that most implementations simply followed what CSS said regarding case-sensitivity. Also the way of getting to the data type from a attribute value seems to be different (the trailing space issue). I would prefer it if the SVG WG specified the way of treating data types (and other things) in a way that closer matches what is actually implemented. -- Anne van Kesteren <http://annevankesteren.nl/>
