Hello,
presumable, if someone notes this, a red background is expected ;o)
Maybe additionally the document contains a huge red circle or rectangle
as first graphical element as fallback.
But typically CSS stylesheets are not often used anyway for SVG documents.
More problematic might be SVG fragments embedded in XHTML
(this method is explicitly allowed in EPUB 2 and 3 - and works in several
viewers better than embedding with img or object).
But if one notes
figure * {background-color: red}
one might mean other content than an SVG within the figure.
If suddenly the background appears for the SVG, this could be a surprise.
On the other hand most EPUBs are generated anyway by relatively simple
programs, either not using SVG at all or in case of calibre only in a
surprising way to embed a raster image within the cover page, using only
scalability of SVG.
Olaf
