Thanks Doug, for raising this issue - yes, from a cartographer's/GIS point of view having intersection lists and methods exposed, would be very useful! It is important to most of the vector based spatial analysis and would allow building more complex GIS tools and cartographic interactivity around SVG. On the other hand SVG 1.2 is already getting very big and I would rather like to see SVG 1.2 coming out soon and having 1.3 or 2.0 adding missing features. If we start adding more and more features we should really change to SVG 2.0 immediately and rather skip SVG 1.2.
