Hey, SVG fans-
Just wanted to let you know that I presented the Params primer to the
CSS WG, and there was a lot of support and interest in it. They
obviously have some comments, but there may be interest in using params
in CSS as well.
One issue that was pointed out was that the URL syntax will have to
change, because it's not actually doing the changes on the server, but
clientside instead; this actually means that we wouldn't have the
caching problem, which would be a benefit to the URL syntax.
In fact, we could conceivably have both syntaxes, actually... there's no
reason a server couldn't serve SVG files pre-adapted based on the
parameters, which might meet another use case where the server wants to
control the parameters more closely, filtering possible parameter values.
I also plan to add some new, simple clip-art examples to the primer as
well, just to show that it can be used with very simple graphics as well
as more complex ones:
