Initially intrinsic sizing of SVG was just totally broken (what WebKit implements). It was changed to actually play nice with CSS (what Gecko and Presto implement). If you think more changes would make it even better, please propose specific ones as you have, but at this point what you _really_ want is for WebKit to actually update its implementation of SVG, whether to what's specced now or to what you're proposing.... -Boris
