Yes, and if everything that has a draft and an implementation in Webkit had a test suite and a Recommendation and would work in all the latest relevant implementations as you would expect from Recommendation and the test suite, we would be a lot better off. Note in particular that Webkit had an implementation of a CSS Variables proposal four years ago already and, as I recall it, dropped it due to lack of interest. If solidColor is working good currently, and if the SVG WG indeed plans to complete SVG 2.0 in half a year from now, CSS Variables do not really affect what should become of solidColor in SVG 2.0. -- Björn Höhrmann · mailto:bjoern@hoehrmann.de · http://bjoern.hoehrmann.de Am Badedeich 7 · Telefon: +49(0)160/4415681 · http://www.bjoernsworld.de 25899 Dagebüll · PGP Pub.
