Re: pattern and rendering order

Dr Olaf Hoffmann,
Thank you for your review of the pattern element and suggested solution for the reported issue. 

The SVG WG agrees that the rendering behavior for overflow="visible" on <pattern> elements in SVG 1.1 is currently unspecified. For the second edition of SVG 1.1 the WG has resolved to leave the rendering behavior for overflowing pattern tiles as undefined[1] in order to fully address the issue in the next version of SVG[2].

Please let us know if this is satisfactory, and we welcome any further input you may have on ISSUE-2270.

Cheers
/Erik, on behalf of the SVG WG (ACTION-2529)
