Hi, At the last SVG Face-to-Face meeting we briefly discussed how CSS Text Decoration Module Level 3 would apply to SVG. The new 'text-decoration-line' and 'text-decoration-style' present no problems within SVG but the 'text-decoration-color' property is a horse of another color. SVG text decoration is painted using the 'fill' and 'stroke' properties of the text where 'text-decoration' is explicitly declared. The paint value is not limited to a solid color; it can be a gradient or pattern or other SVG paint. At the F2F it was suggested that we ping the CSS working group for suggestions on how to handle 'text-decoration-color' in SVG. After thinking about the problem for some time (and consulting with some Inkscape developers), I have concluded that 'text-decoration-color' should not apply to SVG. Instead there should be two additional SVG only properties: 'text-decoration-fill' and 'text-decoration-stroke'. Any comments? I've prepared a web page that includes a few figures and some more discussion: http://tavmjong.free.fr/SVG/TEXT_DECORATION/ Tav
