I think it's worth us (SVG) considering changing to using CSS syntax inside presentation attributes. I think the group is keen to reduce the number of differences, where we can. (Unitless lengths and scientific notation of course being the ones presentation attributes will still need to support.) A quick check with http://people.mozilla.org/~cmccormack/tests/pres-attr-syntax.svg shows in presentation attributes Gecko and WebKit both understanding a CSS escape, only WebKit understanding a CSS comment, and Opera understanding neither.
