Indeed.  Radial gradients appear to exceed the current abilities of
SVG by a goodly bit.  At least, Schepers was having some real
difficulties translating anything beyond the simplest examples into
SVG, while he was able to achieve at least a close approximation on
all the linear gradients pretty easily.

I keep vacillating, but I think I agree.
