Yes, but only if there are no conflicting style sheets, For user agents that support CSS, the presentation attributes must be translated to corresponding CSS style rules according to rules described in section 6.4.4 of the CSS2 specification, Precedence of non-CSS presentational hints, with the additional clarification that the presentation attributes are conceptually inserted into a new author style sheet which is the first in the author style sheet collection. The presentation attributes thus will participate in the CSS2 cascade as if they were replaced by corresponding CSS style rules placed at the start of the author style sheet with a specificity of zero. In general, this means that the presentation attributes have lower priority than other CSS style rules specified in author style sheets or style attributes. This allows the user to specify user style sheets such that they can adapt content to their needs which would otherwise be inaccessible for them. http://www.w3.org/TR/SVG-access/ discusses this in more detail for SVG. Please let us know whether this addresses your concern. -- Björn Höhrmann · mailto:bjoern@hoehrmann.de · http://bjoern.hoehrmann.de Weinh.
