Let's see:
* SVG Tiny 1.2 refers to HTML, not XHTML, so XHTML is irrelevant
* XHTML 1.0 4.11 refers to XHTML 1.0's "enumerated attributes"
- the SVG attributes are not XHTML attributes
- the SVG attributes are not enumerated attributes
- even the XHTML 1.0 attributes that take color values are not
enumerated attributes
* XHTML M12N clearly specifies that color keywords are case-in-
sensitive, so even if XHTML and/or XHTML 1.0 4.11 would in some
way be relevant, they clearly provide obsolete information.
