We welcome input on which of these would be best, or whether something else entirely is better. (4) Set a MIME type like application/vnd.apple.svg-mask+xml. This might prevent breakage in other browsers and allow opt-in without introducing new attributes. The source of the theme color could then be in the file or in the theme color meta value. (5) Use the shape of the path in the SVG icon as a mask and retain the theme color meta value. Why isn't this done? One could have a properly colored icon for one purpose and use the outline of the same icon for the flat design staff. -- Nils Dagsson Moskopp // erlehmann <http://dieweltistgarnichtso.net>
