Well, http://www.w3.org/TR/NOTE-CSS-potential#id05684046681 this is not
exactly a new idea, but the CSS Working Group is not really quick, and
neither are browser developers, to pick up such features, and SVG imple-
mentations do not appear to be on the upgrade fast track either. Given
that the Working Group seems to plan for SVG 2 being (feature-) complete
in half a year from now, that does not seem to be a notable issue at the
moment.

(You would probably attract more attention to this question with a sepa-
rate thread with a relevant subject line.)
