This discussion goes on and on and on because there is neither a good summary of the issues we are discussing here nor a complete proposal on how to address them. We rather continue to add new dimensions to it. Using different parsers for CSS property values and SVG presentation attributes is an implementation detail. We rather discuss the lexical space of properties shared by SVG and CSS when specified as properties in a style sheet, as presentation attributes, in the from/to/values attribute of SMIL and SMIL-based animation elements, in various APIs, and the semantics of the lexical values. All the various details have been pointed out repeatedly on this list, just like the solutions but they are more difficult to keep track of, e.g. in http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-svg/2006Jan/0118.html Jon proposed, as I understand it, that CSS units can only be used in the height/width attributes of the SVG element (in Tiny *and* "Full") and style sheets. That proposal was news to me, and I haven't heard it since either. If you make a good summary of the issues and the proposed solution we can all point to that rather than explain things here again and again, and solving the problem would be just a matter of picking a solution and implement it in the errata documents, the drafts, the test suite, FAQs, viewers, etc. -- Björn Höhrmann · mailto:bjoern@hoehrmann.de · http://bjoern.hoehrmann.de Weinh.
