Great!  As you know we haven't yet made the corresponding spec changes. 
  Did you find anything special that we need to handle in the spec?  How 
does the styling inheritance work with <use> now in Blink?

Is there any impediment to using object-fill, object-stroke, etc. in the 
definition and having them refer to the values of fill/stroke on the 
<use> element?

That sounds sensible to me at first glance.
