Don't worry just yet. I haven't seen anyone suggest we remove
X11 colors from SVG, only deprecate them. Besides, SVG 1.0 is
a Recommendation, so we can't do much to it anway. I'm sure
that all SVG viewers will support X11 colors forever regardless
of what the specification says, simply because there is already 
a huge amount of content out there that uses them. My guess at
the likelyhood of your code breaking (due to X11 colors anyway ;) is
zero.
