Re: [svgwg] Why most of SVG 2 properties are not presentational? (#900)

There seems to be a new 'Charter' now for the working group, but this year no visible activity or discussion to fix all these bugs or to complete SVG 2 to something meaningful for authors by adding the features, once identified to be required for SVG 2. Even worse, in the last charter period, most of already defined features were removed again.
If nothing ist changed, SVG 2 can be considered to be failed for authors.
Authors should ignore the draft simply.
Implementors should care to complete at least the full set of SVG 1.1 and SVG tiny 1.2 before publishing any software, that contains additional funny changes due to the SVG 2 draft. This would be a progress already for authors.

About styling prooerties: Even fill and stroke are typically not only styling.
Often only fill without stroke or stroke without fill is used - nonsense to claim, that this is redundant information concerning understanding.
Even different colors of different objects typically contains information, because it is used to indicate, that these are different objects, not joined together - or the other way arround, overlapping with the same color in a group, that they represent one object, because those draft about composition (draft from 2011!) is not available yet.

More about inactivity:
Draft about connectors: 2011, draft about transforms from 2009, parameters from 2009, SVG integration from 2014.
Some efforts ended as a note like accessibility? :-(
Well, at least some activity on Animation 2 (but only an editors draft from this year for a basic feature of SVG 2)

Looking at these dates, not much efforts in the past ~10 years about SVG at all.
