For the record the above testcase has been checked into the SVGWG  
repository as:

     http://dev.w3.org/SVG/profiles/1.1F2/test/svg/masking-path-geometry-01-f.svg

I agree with Robert that the testcase should allow the various  
serializations that may occur, unless there's something in DOM 2 Style  
that says otherwise. A hex-color (#0000FF) could also be returned, which  
is what Opera currently does. I hope that a future DOM Style spec will  
require a specific serialization.

Cheers
