During the F2F as part of the discussion of the SVG Vector Effects specification, Chris mentioned a proposal to add a few new keywords to handle the issue of marker colour (and SVG Font glyph colour): http://www.w3.org/2011/07/29-svg-minutes.html#item02 I feel that that is a better solution since it is explicit about where the computed values of these keywords comes from, rather than automatically changing depending on if you use them on elements inside a marker or not. Note that the keywords Chris proposed come in two varieties -- one that lets you select the current paint from one of the fill/stroke/color properties at the point of use, and one from the point of reference. Do you have any thoughts on this?
