I think that I now understand the issue. Thanks for the clarification. > The wording of the spec as it stands does not explain what it means. Looking at the part of the CSS 2.1 spec that talks about url() property values [1], it seems as if it is left up to the UA as to how to handle invalid URIs or URIs that designate unavailable or inapplicable resources. The SVG working group would like to specify this behaviour, so it doesn't look like we will be able to just refer to the CSS spec in this matter. Given what we are trying to do, would it be correct to say that the computed value of the property is as if it had been inherited? I know that this may not be 100% correct spec terminology, but I'm just trying to get agreement on the concept using CSS terminology. Is this the correct CSS terminology to capture this concept? If not, would you be able to propose something? Thanks very much for your help in sorting out this section of the spec.
