[css-fonts] comments from SVG WG on 11 July 2013 css-fonts-3 LCWD

Hello www-style,

Here are the review comments from the SVG WG on the 11 July 2013 LCWD of 
css-fonts-3.

1. The SVG WG would like to have tests for the new features in 
css-fonts-3 (new font-variant values for example). Assuming they are 
currently using HTML, we would like to convert existing CSS tests to 
SVG. Could you provide us with a pointer to the CSS test files for these 
new features?

2. There have been a number of proposals for new OpenType tables to 
support colored and more graphically complex glyphs. Some of these 
proposals have a palette feature, where either (a) the document author 
can select from a number of pre-defined palettes in the font file, or 
(b) the document author can supply their own set of colors as a palette 
to use. Perhaps this does not need to be solved in css-fonts-3, but a 
later level, but please have this on your radar.

3. Overall, the SVG WG is pleased with the specification and have no 
other comments.

Regards,

Cameron
(/for SVG WG)
