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.
