RE: How does the svg element handle CSS border and background-color?

Thanks,

I think then if I read what you wrote before (and try not to inflame those that have contributed to this discussion thus far):

SVG should be considered part of the CSS styling Box Model when in HTML and should receive events

Doug/WG: Can we write that down somewhere as a start at least?

What isn't defined? I thought we'd resolved all the SVG/CSS integration points a while back. There's nothing special about HTML here, as far as I can tell. It's just a DOM, styled with CSS. You'd have the same problems defining how things interact with just random XML and CSS, no?

If there are specific things that need defining then I'm definitely happy to help define them. I'm just not aware of anything being left undefined any more.
