SVG WG Teleconference, 14 May 2018

Minutes are online: https://www.w3.org/2018/05/14-svg-minutes.html

We were discussing path forward & features at risk for SVG 2 / 2.1

A few GitHub issues have already been opened based on the discussion, but
too late for github-bot to copy over the conversation automatically.  The
following resolutions were made:

   1. We'll focus on shipping SVG 2.0 by forking current master branch into
   two branches - master tracking SVG 2.0 and svg-next tracking next
   generation graphic technologies. SVG 2.0 will remove all features currently
   at risk and focus on testing and shipping inteoperable core of the
   specification as outlined in the charter

   2. As we have an updated SVG 2.0 in master branch and publish an updated
   CR, we'll simultaneously publish FPWD of SVG 2.1 (tentative name) from
   svg-next branch to signal the group commitment to next generation graphical
   features

   3. Remove mesh gradients and hatches from SVG 2.0, keep in 2.1

   4. Remove <solidcolor> element and its solid-color / solid-opacity style
   properties from SVG 2 and 2.1

(I see I forgot to record a proper resolution, but we also agreed to make
<cursor> fully obsolete.)  See the minutes for the rest of the discussion.
