Ok. I guess we need to deprecate CSS for most compound documents
then? If this issue is not addressed properly, I don't see how I
could not raise a formal objection at your next transition. Note that
I don't care how it is solved, it just has to be in a way that does
not exhibit total disregard, disdain, and disrespect for the rest of
the world.

To the best of my knowledge this specific issue was never raised,
despite at least three formal reviews of the SVG specification by the
CSS WG.

If done in coordination and with review from the SVG WG, no, probably
not.
