RE: CSS WG comments on SVG 1.2

I can't help but to agree. To be honest, I don't see why there's some
mysterious split between geometric and styling attributes.

Why can you not inherit geometric attributes? Like:

<g width='30' height='40'>
  <rect x='50' y='20' />
  <rect x='90' y='60' />
</g>

I'm sure there's a good reason, but I can't think of why. Sure, width
doesn't apply to 'circle' elements, but it could simply not apply there. The
cascading model is already in place, it seems simpler to implement something
like this than to limit inheritance only to styling attributes.
