They might, with care; but previous discussions seemed to indicate that differences (CSS allows comments and @-rules in various places; SVG standardized the "xll" colors that Web browsers have been understanding since 1998 while CSS 2.1 adds only "orange"; CSS 3 color adds hls and rgba) meant that in practice, though some subroutines could doubtless be shared, parsing would be different for SVG presentation attributes and CSS style sheets (including style attributes) that use color values. -- Chris Lilley mailto:chris@w3.org Chair, W3C SVG Working Group W3C Graphics Activity Lead Co-Chair, W3C Hypertext CG
