Re: [svgwg] [svg-native] support xlink:href on gradients (#670)

> The xlink:href is mainly used to share color stops between multiple gradients. W/o objectBoundingBox this is even more important. Otherwise SVG files blow up a lot.

This shouldn't be a problem if you compress the file. In my opinion gradient inheritance is a feature that makes sense in a rich document format (such as SVG), not in an output format (such as SVG Native).


So the only advantage of this 
If the same gradient stops are used by say 100 different objects

Is there any authoring tool that would actually take advantage of gradient inheritance? Most SVG files I have seen 
From my experience most SVG files don't make extensive use of gradient inheritance
